Scientific medical resistant cancerous cancer highlights methods to weaken the cells
According to the researchers, natural cancer -fighting substances help add more polyunsaturated fatty acids to the outer layer of cancer cells, causing them to die quickly.
One of the main challenges in the treatment of cancer is resistance to therapy. However, researchers have discovered a new way that can barely cure treatment tumors, especially when traditional chemotherapy has reached its limit.
Published in the Peer-review Journal Nature Communications, a pharmacist of the Graz University Andreas Koberley and the lead author of the study, said that natural cancer-fighting substances, such as Chinese “Happy Tree”, help add more polyunsaturated fatty acids to cancer For the outer layer of cells. This makes cells more likely to die early through a process called ferroptosis.
“When cancer cells come in contact with active substance, they show a stress reaction. Even in this initial stage, they can probably die long ago, due to low growth signals due to polyunsaturated fatty acids due to growth signals. The level increases, which is incorporated into the membrane.
He said, “The mechanism seems universal. This means that all cancer cells were examined and can be seen in most cytotoxic agents.”
During this process, polyunsaturated fatty acids in the cell membrane are damaged by oxygen fundamentalists. The membrane becomes porous and the cell dies.
According to the researchers, the findings of the study form a basis for systematic research for systematic research in new treatment strategies for medical-resistant tumors.
Even if traditional chemotheraputic agents do not kill cells, they trigger at least one membrane change that can be used.
“Cancer cells can eventually be completely eliminated, by adding substances induceing pheroptosis,” said Koberley.
