Scientists have developed a new method to prevent the development of cancer, which takes the lives of countless people every year. The new method uses a protein found in plants and has shown successful results in mice.
As one of the biggest health problems of humanity, it continues to take a place in our lives. cancerUnfortunately, despite the advanced state of medicine today, it still has not encountered a definitive treatment or preventive method. Every year causing hundreds of thousands of deaths While studies on cancer continue, important news came from the scientific world today.
Scientists from Beijing University in China announced that they have discovered a method that can be a powerful weapon against cancer in their new research they published. The method in the new research, published in the journal Cell, is thanks to a protein in plants. inhibition of cancer cell proliferation provides.
Successful results were obtained in mice:
According to new research RDR1 protein found in plants, with direct targeting of the cell cycle, greatly inhibits the proliferation of cancer cells. In experiments with mouse models, the scientists discovered that the RDR1 protein can inhibit the progression of various solid tumors and leukemia.
In the new method developed, the RDR1 protein is approximately 21-23 nucleotides long in cancer cells. repairing defects in microRNA was used for. In this way, a anti-tumor effect achieved and thus a new strategy for editing microRNA was developed. It was emphasized that the new method is a powerful weapon against cancer.
