Successful farming of genetically modified goats for cancer treatment

Russian scientists have successfully adopted genetically modified goats to aid in cancer treatment. The team wanted to adopt the milk of genetically modified goats that have a lot of proteins to stimulate hematopoiesis in the bone marrow, which is a vital process for cancer patients.

After a patient has had a malignant tumorectomy, he or she will receive a healthy bone marrow transplant, which restores blood components and strengthens the immune system.

Thanks to the support of protein support from genetically modified goats, bone marrow cells are regenerated more quickly in numbers.

Over the course of a clinical trial, it has been normal for a cancer patient to return to the bloodstream in less than a month after surgery.

Until now, protein therapy is still an expensive cancer treatment. A full course of treatment requires $ 6,000. However, after successfully breeding genetically modified goats, it can help to reduce costs significantly.

Researcher Oleg Serov, in charge of the genetic laboratory of the Russian Institute of Genetics and Cellar, explained: "A liter of genetically modified goat milk can give at least 300mg of protein. The dose needed for treatment in one Full batch only from 5 to 10mg ".

The process of feeding and collecting proteins from genetically modified goat milk in the laboratory has successfully paved the way for the industrial production of this useful protein. This opens up hope for cancer patients to extend their quality of life.
