Stunning opening photo: Salmonella "eats" a brain tumor! Sounds like a song… Bashny.Net

Every day science brings us new impressive discoveries. Sometimes some of the phenomena or organisms that seemed dangerous enemies to the human race, are able under certain circumstances to benefit enormously. Surprisingly, even such harmful bacteria as salmonella that can be darn useful!

Edition «Site» talk about a stunning discovery scientists geneticists, can radically change methods of treatment of oncological diseases brain.

Use chicken jizni's no secret that raw eggs is a very dangerous product that can cause salmonellosis. An acute intestinal infection caused by Salmonella, affects millions of people around the world and in 40% of cases is fatal. But modern genetic research has proven that Salmonella can be transformed into the Savior of the human race. And that's the way…

Glioblastoma — the most common and lethal form of cancer of the brain, it annually claim thousands of lives. Because this tumor can not be completely chemo - and radiotherapy. When the patient is diagnosed with "glioblastoma", well, if he's lucky enough to live at least two years. But when traditional treatment methods fail, the battlefield leaves the Salmonella.

Thirty four million nine hundred twenty six thousand six hundred eleven



A team of researchers from Duke University managed reprogramming DNA harmful bacteria fantastic way to not attack the digestive system and the aggressive cancer cells. I think they succeeded! Just a few strokes in the genetic code of bacteria make it a weapon of mass destruction of cancer cells.

Twenty six million six hundred forty two thousand seven hundred seventy three



Creating an artificial shortage of purines in the organism Salmonella makes her literally "devour" harmful tumor that is so rich in these amino acids. "Hungry" bacteria goes straight to the brain, where it multiplies and destroys the affected cells.

Twenty three million nine hundred ninety thousand eight hundred thirty seven



And most importantly — Salmonella programmed to self-destruct due to lack of oxygen. So cunning after the destruction of the tumor in the body does not remain traces of harmful bacteria.

Eighty six million seven hundred sixty one thousand two hundred seventy eight



Studies on laboratory rats showed that 20% of life subjects managed to extend at 100 days. This is equivalent to 10 years of human life.

Forty four million seventy two thousand nine hundred seven



Scientists just have to learn to purposefully use this property of bacteria, without causing additional harm to the human body. Now geneticists are working to learn how to use Salmonella to transport therapeutic anticancer drugs into the cancerous area of education.

Seventy one million nine hundred fifteen thousand eight hundred forty four



It is clear that laboratory success is not victory, but excellent start on the way to creating a complete medical drug. Still want to believe that such a leap will happen in the coming years!
