BEIJING, Oct. 31 (Xinhua) -- A new study has found that cells have internal defense mechanisms that trigger "suicide function" during cancerous periods, the Star Island Daily reported.
scientists believe cancer patients will be exempt from chemotherapy if they look for the right way to "suicide" cancer cells. the study was published in the journal Nature Communications on
. Peter, an expert on cancer metabolism who led the study
, believes that cells were self-eating cancer sefactories long before the immune system developed by multicellular organisms more than 800 million years ago.
the defense mechanism that prompts the "suicide" of mutant cells, which still exists in the human body today.
Peter believes that the genetic material rnaysic acid (RNA) is the key to research, RNA in the early formation of life to transmit genetic information, in protein synthesis plays an important role.
as early as last year, he found that the smaller molecules of RNA, known as "microRNA," can simultaneously eliminate the many genes needed for cancer cells to grow and produce antibodies.
this is the equivalent of the self-destruction of cancer cells.
to understand why cells "suicide" was, Peter tested more than 4,000 different combinations of "microRNA" and found that one of them was most effective against cancer.
study further found that when cancer cells are stimulated specifically, RNA in cells breaks down into smaller "microRNAs" that cause cancer cells to self-destruct.
he also found that 3% of the RNA in the genetic material can be broken down into anti-cancer "microRNAs."
it is known that current chemotherapy therapy disrupts gene sequencing and causes side effects, including secondary cancers.
Peter, the next step in the study is to explore how the body can make its own "microRNAs" to kill cancer cells.
it takes a long time to study new treatments.
