Detection of genes capable of controlling cancer cells
Scientists from the British Medical Research Council have discovered that a gene can control the development and spread of prostate cancer cells.
Scientists have focused on the study of substrate cells - not cancer cells but have an important role in controlling the spread of tumors in the body. As a result, the team found 15 genes that control the growth of cancer cells.
Dr Axel Thomson, a member of the research team, said: "The muscle cells work to inhibit cancer growth even if they are not cancer cells. to tumor growth stimulus'.
The muscle cells have an effect on tumor growth.
However, Dr. Axel Thomson said this is just a scientific study that was tested on patients' cancer cell samples. Previously, scientists have successfully tested on worms and flies.
Dr Owen Sharp of the British Association of Prostate Cancer said: ' Researchers have found that normal prostate cells function to control and control cancer cell growth. Prostate. This result can be used to develop new drugs that help treat cancer effectively. '
Each year, about 37,000 cases of prostate cancer in the UK and this disease cause 10,000 deaths each year. He is also the country with the highest incidence of prostate cancer in the world.
