Researchers develop new way to make cancer cells ‘commit suicide’. theSun theSundaily cancer research science
: Israeli researchers have developed a method that makes cancer cells to self-produce toxins and thus ‘commit suicide’, Tel Aviv University in central Israel said in a statement on Sunday, reported Xinhua.
As a result, the cancer cells produced the same toxin, as they were the bacteria itself, eventually killing them with a success rate of up to 60 per cent. In experiments, the team first encoded the genetic information of the toxic protein produced by pseudomonas bacteria into mRNA molecules. The particles were injected into the tumours of mice with melanoma skin cancer, and after one injection, 44 to 60 per cent of the cancer cells disappeared.
