Scientists say that by starving a cancer cell, new mutations can be achieved, which can be recognized by the immune system.
Scientists at the Soheil Tawazoi Cancer Systems Biology Laboratory at The Rockefeller University discovered that arginine is an essential nutrient for cancer cells. PhysOrg writes about it.
“It’s like you have a Lego set and you’re trying to build a fancy model airplane and you run out of parts. At the cellular level, arginine plays a role in a variety of processes, from disposing of nitrogenous waste to to protein synthesis, and is also one of several amino acids that have been shown to regulate immune cell responses to cancer and other types of immunological triggers.” Cancer Center in Pittsburgh Dennis Sue.
This deficiency is due to the inflamed tissues of people with Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, inflammatory bowel disease, or infection with certain bacteria, he said. So when people with these conditions go untreated, they are at a higher risk of developing stomach or colon cancer.
“We think that some cancers develop in conditions of low arginine and carry this history in their DNA,” said the doctor.
Remember, researchers from Imperial College London have found a new surgical instrument that can detect cervical cancer within seconds.
