Do you know the fact that an estimation
that 18.1 million new cancer cases are diagnosed worldwide each year and 16% of
total deaths are due to cancer making it second leading cause of death as per reports
by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. There are very few people who return back to
normal life once they have been diagnosed with cancer. So lots of people lose their hope when they
hear about a cancer patient. Now to a
relief, a promising small group of Israeli scientist came up with some good news
in a name of “MuTaTo (multi-target toxin).
Israeli
scientists, working in Accelerated Evolution Biotechnologies Ltd formed in
2000, think they might have found the complete cure for cancer. They said they
will come up with this complete cure by a year’s time. It is reported that cancer
cure will be effective from day one, will last a duration of a few weeks and
will have no or minimal side-effects at a much lower cost than most other
treatments in the market.
MuTaTo
is essentially on the scale of a cancer
antibiotic – a disruption technology of the highest order. The potentially
game-changing anti-cancer drug involves the introduction of DNA coding for a
protein, such as an antibody, into a bacteriophage — a virus that infects
bacteria. That protein is then displayed on the surface of the phage.
Researchers can use these protein-displaying phages to screen for interactions
with other proteins, DNA sequences and small molecules.
