Researchers at the Scottish Cancer Research Center have discovered anomalies in the cells of the pre-pancreatic pancreas, which are similar to the processes of Demension. This discovery can help develop methods for preventing and treating one of the most difficult treated cancers. The work was published in the DEVELOPMENTAL CELL (DEVCEL) magazine.
Scientists have long followed the cells of mice pancreas to understand what will turn healthy cells into cancer cells. They found that in the pre-lover phase, the cell "waste processing" was disrupted by the cells, autophagia. As a result, they accumulate unnecessary protein molecules that make up clusters that are similar to those who meet in the brain in case of neurodegenerative diseases.
Scientists have found similar protein "levels" in the tissue of human pancreas, which implies a possible connection between this phenomenon and cancer development.
According to Professor Simon Wilkinson, Professor of Kras gene defects and autopsy disorder, a combination of Kras gene defects can play an important role in intensifying the oncological process. The understanding of this mechanism inspires hope for the forecast of the disease and may be able to create new prevention methods.
The pancreas cancer remains one of the most dangerous types of cancer, and in many cases the diagnosis is put in the late stage when treatment is already limited. Scientists plan to study the impact of age, gender and dieting on the development of mobile changes, to find ways of early intervention.
