Researchers from Switzerland said that they managed to find an unusual protein, which previously nothing was known.
The uniqueness of this protein is that it can change the uncontrolled growth of cancer cells in the liver. This finding can greatly help doctors in the treatment of cancer.
Scientists say that the new protein was called LHPP. He is now actively exploring by scientists who want to understand the principle of his work.
So far, researchers have concluded that this protein is unique in that its deficiency promotes the growth of cancer cells and reduces the chances of recovery. Thus, exposure to only this protein can affect all treatment.
The doctors note that it is amazing that this protein is also in healthy tissues and partly in patients. In general, its concentration in infected tissues is either very minimal or not at all. This is a significant discovery that can change the approach to fighting cancer.
The severity of the disease depends on the amount of protein in the cells. It can also help in diagnosing a disease. This protein can also be a marker of the disease and show the extent of the disease.
In their study, scientists analyzed 4,500,000 proteins per diseased tissue. The results turned out to be very specific: patients had problems with this protein.
