A new drug development process begins to cure cancer

Cancer-CellsBritish scientists have found a new group of molecules which will prevent the deadly tumors of cancer from spreading. This is a remarkable breakthrough to fight against cancer.

Scientist, Dr Gerd Wagner , the team leader of University of East Angila claim that they have discovered a synthetic version of a molecule in cancer cells which can block an enzyme, that affects how cells attach and force other cells to spread around the body.

Researchers told that cancer cells have a natural molecule UDP-Galactose and when this molecule is synthetically modified it works as a blocker. This mechanism suggest that it can block the cancer cells to spread around the body and results in preventing cancer.

The most exciting part of this mechanism is that these blockers work in a completely new format, however researchers are very hopeful to develop a drug to fight against cancer.

Dr Wagner also expressed that the enzyme found as a blocker is particularly targeted to cure lung cancer. Although, this mechanism can be found in many cancers such as breast cancer.
