Scientists have found an effective way to fight cancer

Scientists from the University of Yonsei (South Korea) have created to destroy a virus, the cancer cells without affecting healthy cells. Scientists conducted an experiment in a laboratory, in which, as the killer of cancer cells was normal adenovirus, which is often chosen in a cold winter. But for him to play a different role in the body, the researchers added a new piece of its genetic code - human DNA that codes for the synthesis of the hormone relaxin. As a result, when injected into a cancer virus began multiply actively and cancer cells. While healthy cells modified virus is no risk, experts say. Researchers from South Korea reported that disappeared after a series of injections into the brain, liver, lung and uterus experimental mice, the animals are more than 90% of cancer cells. These amazing results, as if they have the same rights, the fight against the disease, which claims the lives of millions, can be very effective.

Mediterranean diet prolongs life and protects against cancer

Strict adherence to the Mediterranean diet, which protects on a diet based rich in fruit and vegetables against cancer, Italian researchers reported. Scientists have analyzed 12 international studies involving more than 1.5 million people. Nutrition experts observed the participants for 18 years. The Mediterranean diet is the cuisine of the Mediterranean nations, including plenty of fruits, vegetables, olive oil, etc. The Mediterranean diet is based on eating more, not focused on weight loss. Although it leads to another. It was found that the participants that the Mediterranean diet mortality from diseases of the cardiovascular system, preferably an average of less than 9%, 13% less frequent cases of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and 6% - reported cancer researchers. Researchers believe that the Mediterranean diet is a good tool for the prevention of serious illness and reduce mortality.

Broccoli protects against lung disease

Substance in broccoli can reduce the damage in the lungs, leading to the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The cause of this disease is smoking in general. COPD claims the lives of many smokers each year, reports the BBC. American scientists have discovered that a substance that improves sulforapane NRF2 gene in human lung cells. This gene protects cells against damage caused by exposure to toxins. The study was published in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine. NRF2 gene activity in smokers with COPD significantly reduced. According to researchers, this gene is removed for the involvement of multiple mechanisms, toxins and other harmful cells from the body. The results showed that broccoli contains a natural ingredient that normalizes gene NRF2. According to experts, this vegetable is used to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, but this needs further research. While the experiment was conducted only in mice in the laboratory, the researchers reported.
