As one of humanity’s biggest health problems, it continues to occupy a place in our lives. cancerUnfortunately, despite the advanced state of medicine today, it has still not come across a definitive treatment or preventive method. Every year causing hundreds of thousands of deaths As cancer studies continue, important news emerged from today’s scientific community.

Scientists from Peking University in China announced in their new study that they have discovered a method that could be a powerful weapon against cancer. The method in the new research, published in the journal Cell, is thanks to a protein in plants. inhibition of cancer cell proliferation offers.

Successful results were obtained in mice:

According to new research RDR1 protein found in plants, with direct cell cycle targeting, strongly inhibits cancer cell proliferation. In experiments with mouse models, the scientists found that the RDR1 protein can inhibit the progression of various solid tumors and leukemias.

In the newly developed method, the RDR1 protein is about 21-23 nucleotides long in cancer cells. repair defects in microRNA was used for. In this way, a anti-tumor effect achieved and thus a new strategy for processing microRNA was developed. It was emphasized that the new method is a powerful weapon against cancer.
