Camden.  By Allegra Tiver  Cancer is a disease in which the
growth regulation of particular body cells is disrupted in two
ways -- they grow when they're not supposed to, and they don't
die when they are supposed to -- according to David Moscatello,
director of the differentiated cell laboratory at Coriell
Institute for Medical Research in Camden.  While a person's
likelihood of developing these mutations can be influenced by
various environmental factors such as viruses -- the Human
Papillomavirus puts women at higher risk for cervical cancer and
Hepatitis B increases the risk for liver cancer -- some people
are born with these "defective signals."  An internationally-
known biomedical research institution, Coriell banks cells from
people with particular kinds of cancers in a "Human Genetic Cell
Repository" and sends them to laboratori
