a new study in Australia says that for skin and oral squamous cell carcinoma, if a protein can be left in cancer cells, it can help prevent cancer cells from being resistant.
squamous cell carcinomas are found in areas covered with scaly skin, mouth, and esophageal esophageal.
University of Queensland, Australia, has discovered that a protein called E2F7 has a significant effect on cell resistance in skin and oral squamous cell carcinoma. In normal cells, the protein stays in the nuclei and prevents resistance to drugs, while in cancerous cells, the protein is detached from the nuclei, causing the cells to become less sensitive to the drug.
, an associate professor at the University of Queensland, said they had found a new drug that would keep E2F7 in the nuclei of cells, making cancer cells sensitive to chemotherapy drugs and improving the effectiveness of treatments for squamous cell carcinoma.
