Cancer is the most widespread disease and the deadliest on our planet.
Thousands and thousands of people get affected by the disease each year and hundreds of them lose their war with cancer and end up dead.
Because of the same, scientists around the world have been working for years and years on finding the best cure for the disease.
Recently in a new study, scientists found out Achilles’ Heel of cells that spread cancer. It forces the cancerous cells to get overstressed and then the cells end up in self-destruction due to pressure.
The experiments that were conducted in the study showed that cutting out a protein that these cells feed on, can kill them off.
The scientists found out that the newfound technique works on some of the variants of the disease found in the human body. And in the experiments that were conducted on rats, it was found out that the technique effectively worked for bowel and blood cancer in mice.
And what is the best part? The best part is that we already have medication for the purpose that works in the same way.
We have a drug available too that had already been created that restricts the chemical ATF4. This has given hope to the scientists that the technique will work effectively.
Professor Constantinos Koumenis, who is the co-author of the study says: “We have worked on it and after the researches found out that we would have to go deep in the downstream.
That is the only way we will be able to completely block cancer developing cells out. This study acts in the same direction keep the motive as the target.”
Each day, cancer cells develop in hundreds of new bodies, sometimes they do not survive but sometimes they do and then make the sufferer’s body their home.
