New protein offers new hope for cancer treatment

It comes as good news that the scientists from University of Copenhagen have found new protein that will help to cure cancer in a better way. This has brought new hopes for the patients suffering from cancer. This set of proteins is recognized as ADP-ribosylation that has the ability to repair the DNA damage and hence could be proved very beneficial for the cancer patients. The author of the study, Michael Lund Nielsen, Associate Professor from Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein Research, University of Copenhagen explains in the victory, “With a better knowledge of the many complex processes which are activated in connection with illness and medication, the better the possibility of developing new drugs. We have now moved closer to targeting and treating certain cancers using the so-called PARP inhibitors – medical inhibitors used in the latest types of cancer treatment. Certain types of tumours rely heavily on PARP proteins in order to self-repair, and PARP inhibitors can be used specifically to kill cancer cells.”
