Cancer drugs can increase memory

Scientists at the University of California Irvine have discovered a new effect of HDAC, a substance found in anticancer drugs that functions to shrink tumors and is now found to increase the mind.

The experiment was conducted on mice and the results showed that HDAC allowed some genes to participate in activating memory more quickly and accurately.

The results of this experiment have not yet been proven to be completely correct in the human body, but it has opened up a new opportunity for the study of drugs that increase human memory.

Macelo Wood, chairman of the study, said he and his colleagues not only understood the results of the study, but also understood how HDAC works, even if they are only in the molecular form and effects of they reach certain types of proteins in the body. Mr. Wood said: 'It's amazing that drugs not only affect cancer cells but also memory and nerve genes. Moreover, experiments with drugs containing HDAC also give positive results about the ability to detox and reduce mental disorders'.

The experiment was carried out by scientists as follows: Mice were locked into a large box. They will be placed in a corner to cause electric shock. Some of them were injected with HDAC, the others did not. After a while the mice infected with HDAC did not show signs of returning to the place where they were shocked, and the other mice returned. The experiment also showed that the neural structures of these mice became more developed and powerful.

New findings by researchers at the University of California Irvine have created many favorable conditions for studying a drug with many effects, especially in the field of cancer and neurology.
