Scientists unlock key to cancer cell death mystery | Longevity science | Scoop.it

New research may offer treatment options to certain cancers, such as sarcomas.

 

The scientists in this study found that a particular protein is able to stop and control certain cancer cells, and that it has also been known to kill cancer cells. There are drugs that can increase levels of this protein (p21). Testing these drugs in cancer cases may lead to more effective treatments to halt the progress of cancer and even kill existing cancer cells.
