Scientists discovered the type of tumor suppressor gene

Singapore scientists have found a way to boost the body's immune system to prevent spreading cancer cells, after discovering a new mechanism involving p53 - an important tumor suppressor gene. , potentially damaging the cancer cell's ability to hide in the immune system.

According to the Singapore Immunization Network (SigN) research team, the finding will help improve the effectiveness of targeted cancer therapy by taking advantage of the body's own immune system to control and remove cancer cells.

Also known as "gene protector", p53 gene prevents cancer by causing damaged cells to die or prevent the development of mutant cells before they become cancer and spread to the rest of body.

The research leader, Associate Professor Ren Ee Chee confirmed with this result, they explained why cancer cells are not detected by the immune system, and more importantly, learn how to recover p53 with drugs can help take advantage of the immune system to recognize and destroy cancer cells.

Acting CEO of SigN, Associate Professor Laurent Rénia also confirmed that the study opened a new door to control one of the most studied cancer-related genes, but there are still many mysteries in the past. At the present time, he also expressed confidence that scientists will soon find more effective and cost-effective treatments for millions of cancer patients worldwide.
