Advances on P 53 in Cancer Research (including Breast Cancer)

22 million people in the world suffer from cancer, and any advance in cancer research is welcomed by all. P 53 the tiny molecule which was discovered 30 years ago has given several openings for scientists in their research to uncover avenues for cancer treatment and cure.Cancer emerge when mutations, or abnormal changes, in the genes that control the growth of cells keeping them healthy happens. The genes embodied in the cell’snucleus, regulates each cell which replace itself through an orderly process of cell growth: healthy new cells take over when old ones die out.
However mutations can “switch on” certain genes and “switch off” others.
That changed cell provides itself with the power to keep dividing without control or order producing more cells just like it and resulting in the formation of a tumor. Scientists are discovering drugs that can reactivate P53 to its normal function, and like manner kill the cancer cells without affecting the good cells which happen in chemotherapy treatment. P 53 is a guardian in several areas too such as in metabolism, fertility and in the ageing process providing the discovery into a multi fold gain.We expect that within a period of four to five years , treatment and the production of drugs to deal with cancer would be made available
