It is considered a milestone in the scientific world. A selected team of researchers from the University of Pennsylvania manufactured… Artificial human chromosome able to Modifying existing and appropriate human cells To be reproduced from generation to generation.
This discovery opens the door to… Best cell treatments For diseases such as cancer. This discovery was published in the journal “Science”, A A famous international scientific journal Scientists who had previously led the first were included The Human Genome Project in the 1990s.
According to experts, this is artificial chromosome technology It is not complicated for small and simple organisms such as bacteria and yeasts.But it is in the creation of human chromosomes because of the complexity and size of their centromeres, that is, the X-shaped region, which is the central point where the two arms of the chromosome meet.
“This technology could lead to better cell therapies for diseases such as cancer.”
Ben Black, one of the scientists who participated in the research, highlights this creation “It is very attractive for eventual deployment in biotech applications,” For example, when genetic engineering of cells on a large scale is desirable.” In addition, he adds that one of its main advantages is that They do not change or modify Normal chromosomes of the cell. Regarding the management of these cells, a system was used based on yeast cells that are able to transfer larger quantities during the process.
For this part, Researchers are optimistic Both for the results obtained and for the number of potential advantages it offers in the scientific field. Just a possibility Successful manufacture of artificial chromosomes For complex organisms such as humans and plants It will open a new horizon To be explored with many medical applications. It could be anything from producing highly productive, pest-resistant crops to producing agricultural crops A potential treatment for diseases such as cancer.
This is the new system for detecting bladder cancer
BlaDimiR It is a bladder cancer detection system that has been launched, at the present time, as a clinical trial, before 12 October Hospital This allows the diagnosis of this type of cancer With urine test only. It will also allow you to know whether the usual treatment for this condition will work, thus avoiding discomfort and helping you find alternative treatments.
“Bladder cancer is the seventh or eighth cancer Most common all over the worldMarta Dueñas, a physician and researcher at October 12 Hospital, explains. Up to 70% of patients with bladder cancer have a recurrence, that is, the tumor reappears.” This is why examinations and examinations are more frequent, up to three or four times a year, through cystoscopy.
