Towards cancer treatment Although studies on this subject continue unabated, there has been a very significant development in this field recently. Researchers at Stanford Medicine in the US have made a discovery that could revolutionize cancer treatments.

Scientists used some bacteria on the skin for this. To fight cancer and produce the treatment, these organisms must be used. their genomes have been altered.

In mice, the treatment proved to be successful

In tests, this modified bacteria was administered to mice with cancer. As a result, it was observed that the tumors began to disappear. What is being said here is,Staphylococcus epidermidisA bacteria from the hair of mice called ”. This bacteria is adapted to produce a protein that stimulates the immune system.

Michael Fischbach, one of the researchers, also stated that the results “like magic” described as. While Fischbach said the mice had very aggressive tumors, he also drew attention to ease of treatment. Accordingly, the treatment was done by removing bacteria from the mice and rubbing them into the hairs on their heads, after replacing them.

Scientists have discovered that the immune cells of this bacterium CD8T They found that it triggered the production of cells. In their study, they actually produced CD8 T cells that target specific antigens through this bacterium. In this case, these antigens targeted skin cancer. Successful results occurred when the cells encountered the tumor. These cells were able to multiply quickly, reducing the mass or completely eliminating the tumor.

Human trials could begin in a few years

Fiscbach also said in his statements:“It was shocking to see these tumors disappear, especially in an area far from where we applied the bacteria.” said. Of course, nothing definite can be said yet. While commonly seen in humans, Staphylococcus epidermidis bacteria can be found in both us and mice. We don’t know if it will activate the immune response. However, a different bacteria can be used; Therefore, we can say that the research is promising.

Although researchers say more research is needed on the treatment in a few years He says they are waiting for human trials to begin. Also the treatment against all kinds of infectious diseases except cancer cells It is also said that it is possible.
