Israeli team finds two proteins that can suppress cancer

In breakthrough, researchers in Technion lab of Nobel laureate Aaron Ciechanover discover proteins that affect cancerous cells’ growth and development

team of Israeli researchers at the Technion has discovered two proteins that can suppress cancer and control the cells’ growth and development. The study was conducted in the laboratory of Prof. Aaron Ciechanover, an Israeli Nobel-prize winner in chemistry, and led by Dr. Yelena Kravtsova-Ivantsiv. The team included research students and physicians from the Rambam, Carmel and Hadassah Medical Centers. In a paper published in the journal Cell last week, the researchers showed how the proteins could repress cancerous tissues and detailed how a high concentration of a protein called KPC1 and another called p50 in the tissue can protect it from cancerous tumors.

The research also detailed how the ubiquitin process — a cell system responsible for breaking down damaged proteins that can harm cells and tissues and co-discovered by Ciechanover, for which he won the Nobel — has a role in the mechanism.

The study was done on human tumors grown in mice, and samples of human tumors.

Ciechanover told PR Newswire that many more years of research are needed “to establish the research and gain a solid understanding of the mechanisms behind the suppression of the tumors. The development of a drug based on this discovery is a possibility, although not a certainty, and the road to such a drug is long and far from simple.”

Well, per the BDS movement, these findings should be ignored. As well an any subsequent treatments based on them. [/s]

Jews seeking cures for cancer, advancing technology and medicine on every front.

Moslems sawing off heads, blowing up school buses, raping little girls, burning people alive, wreaking murder, mayhem, death and destruction worldwide.

Which people group is honored by Western Academia?

Lab rats refuse to submit to injections. Say they prefer to die rather than help zionist drug get approval. Patients in double-blind test groups agree to take placebo, but not real doses, in case they have to say ‘thank you’ to a Random scientist.

If they discover something this profound, the MSM will be sure to scrub “Israel” from all reports.

Because, “they didn’t build it. It was all done on the backs of blacks/arabs”.

I'm seeing new breakthroughs in medical understanding and technological findings at an increasing pace. Each one seems to show a lot of promise. However, they invariably say that practical applications are years away. That's fine I suppose if you're 18 years old. But if you're a seasoned citizen, I think it would be welcome news to hear of some researchers who would begin actual treatments with some of the new findings (maybe in the Caribbean or other place where they were allowed to do so) for people who had few options and little to lose by taking the risk.

“whaaa. . ? This did not come from a Palestinian?”

Sure it did. The joos extracted this protein from ground-up Palestinian children. Muslims knew about this long ago.

Gee, how many similar discoveries were made by Muslim researchers at universities in Iran, Syria or the ISIS regions?

I can still here my mom sixty years ago: “They’re going to find a cure for cancer in Israel.”
