To develop a new anti-cancer drug that can kill cancer cells

israel's Target Biotechnology has developed a new anti-cancer drugThe use of this drug can trigger apoptosis mechanisms for specific cancer cells, causing them to die by suicideThe researchers developed the drug by mimicking the mechanism of apoptosis in living organismsApoptosis is an important mechanism for biological control of their own cells, so that people or animals no longer work in the cell to die on their own, as long as the use of drugs to imitate and trigger this mechanism, can promote cancer cells suicide deathAlong these lines, researchers have developed a small protein that triggers a cell suicide responseThe protein has two functions, one is able to reach the target cell, and the other is to trigger the target cell's suicide response when it arrivesWhen he was working on immunotoxins at the Hebrew University, he had been looking for a toxin in his organism that could kill diseased cells, but none of the organisms on Earth produced it, said MrJacconi, the company's chief executiveSo, according to the idea of modern medicine imitating the natural physiological processes of the human body, he thought of the mechanism of apoptosisTo get proteins to reach the target cells as required, the researchers combined identifiable biomolecules with proteins so that proteins, guided by the identified molecules, entered only specific diseased cells without damaging healthyAnimal experiments have shown that the drug can act effectively against target cellsThe company has signed a partnership development agreement with pharmaceutical companies in India and the United States and is preparing to begin clinical trials within a year(Reporter Zheng Xiaochun)
