Scientists from Ukraine made a discovery in the field of early diagnosis of cancer.

A group of researchers from the Department of Information and Measurement Technologies and Systems of KhPI, together with scientists from the Research Institute of General Emergency Surgery of the Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine and employees of Kharkov Medical University, found an explanation for the rapid growth of cells that occurs during physical exertion. The process is called piezobiosynthesis.. The study, which lasted three years, revealed the presence in the cells of the synthesis of the chemical ATP as a result of exposure to weak electrical potentials..

These potentials are associated with the piezoelectric effect of the LC structures of cell membranes deformed by an external action.. Infected cells have a special reaction to this effect..

Blood analysis will be supplemented by the use of mechanical loads in a centrifuge. The new discovery, which will become the basis of a new method for early cancer detection, has already received recognition from the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences.
