Gene Might Be the Crucial Factor Inhibits the Happening of Cancer!

July 1st 2009 17:42
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.

This is amazing news, Wilson. I really hope that this leads to a cure, once and for all. Very encouraging information, thanks for sharing!

Wilson - there was an article on the news the other day about a Sydney or Australian based research team closer to a cure. I wasn't paying much attention but this drug I think stopped cancer cells spreading and turned off cancer antibodies so that treatments could kill it and it would not fight back - it sounded very promising.

They've cured cancer in animals, human trials are starting soon, the most impressive work happening to date. But all knowledge helps if not always in the way intended. So there is hope for your bub yet, Wilson.

You're welcomed, Natalina!

Yep, Jason. I also read the article as well. The day where human kind are free from the suffering of cancer will be arriving soon,,,

Thanks for the clarification, Katyzzz. Hope is everywhere and we should keep in mind that nothing is impossible, as long we have our hopes on it!
