AIDS and cancers are the two biggest uncured diseases who always threatening human race in present days. However, these two diseases might become a history, as the Malaysian researchers claimed to discover the antidotes!
The anti-HIV drug is given name as “Calanolide”, is derived from the Bintangor or Calophyllum tree is under the final stages of development.
Rainforest have always being considered as the “green germ”, as many traditional medicines have been found inside the rainforests. However, the sadness thing is the Brazilian Amazon and Indonesia rainforests have been quickly wiped out more than 120,000 square miles in the past decade! If this situation continues, then our hope on finding the cure for the uncured diseases might turn into bubble!
According to Tan Sri Dr. George Chan, the Deputy Chief Minister of Sarawak, Malaysia, the Calonide A samples have been sent to the National Cancer Institute of United States for testing purpose.
By the launching of Calonide A, more HIV and cancer patients might be able to have a normal healthy life afterward…
The world’s largest cancer conference has been held on 7th to 8th June 2009. Although there are some progress happening in the conference, but it’s ended up with no new cure for the cancer treatment!
Many oncologists from all around the world have been tried their best to invent the vaccine and medicine, where the main purpose is helping the cancer patients live longer and feel better!
Cancer has becoming the biggest threat for the entire human races, especially in this 21st century! There are more and more people who being diagnosed with various types of cancers everyday. According to the United States latest survey, one out of three U.S. citizens will have the risk of getting cancer in any form!
In order to overcome the threatening of cancer, oncologists have invented a new medicine named, BSI-201. This new cancer medicine claimed to extend cancer patients’ life, from the shortest 3 months to 2 years!
Unfortunately, the medicine didn’t work forever and the cancer patient might meet the death afterward…
The fight against cancer is a very long and hard journey. Hence, the cancer patient must have tougher and stronger will, as it helps the patient to live much longer.
Life is supposed to be blessed with health, as the life without a healthy body is torturing, no matter you have unlimited wealth or fortune pilling up in the banks!
The good news is the scientists from the University of Manchester claimed that they have found a new way of killing tumors. They identified a key gene, which is appearing to play an important role in the normal process of cell division in human’s body.
The main reason why cancer can be spreading out like bushfire, as it divides in an uncontrolled way as any other body’s cells did!
In this case, the Manchester team has discovered a protein in our cells named, “Bub 1” (Not Bug 1! lol). The Bub 1 is playing the role for normal cell division to take place. Once the gene that generates Bub 1 is out of control, then the cells are unable to divide accordingly!
They said that Bub 1 is a very specific type of enzyme, where is controlling the several processes during the cell division. By switching off the Bub 1, it means to stop the cancer cells from spreading and growing in the patient’s body as well!
Hopefully, the research team might be able to come out with some breakthrough with the Bub 1 in the near future.
In the basic science concept, we believe that the human immune system has the ability to destroy contagious cancer cells. As a result, there are tons of cancers vaccines have been developed and hope it will be able to cure the cancerous cells. The truth is, the immune system is quite smart and they didn’t seem to take on the cancers vaccines bait at all!
Adam D.Cohen, the oncologist at Fox Chase, has recently discovered that the DTA-1 antibody has the power to impair regulatory T cells and wake up the immune system to against the cancerous cells!
Talking about DTA-1, its actually an antibody, which mainly designed to stimulate the glucocorticoid-induced tumor necrosis factor receptor (GITR). Cohen also said that DTA-1 could be used to help the immune system against the tumor cells and wipe out the bad cancerous cells.
