Korean Scientists Make Cancer Cells Healthy
Korean scientists have learned to turn cancer cells into healthy ones. The method has already been tested on mice, and it works. Researchers studied the structure of colon cancer for a long time and found three genes that affect the onset of the disease: MYB, HDAC2, and FOXA2. It turns out that if these genes are suppressed in cancer cells in mice, they turn into healthy cells without destroying the cells themselves. Now scientists are trying to reverse brain cancer in mice. If they succeed, complex and harmful chemotherapy could become a thing of the past.
