A study developed by scientists from Ecuador, Spain and Peru shows that the ARN would be a key molecule to develop possible cures for him Cancer, Since the protein that regulate their function are emerging as critical promoters of the tumor process.

In research carried out over four years, it was identified that the protein “Cold-inducible RNA binding protein” promotes the breast cancer by regulating some RNAs.
It is important to emphasize that this type of protein can control hundreds of carcinogenic RNAs, behaving as key regulators of the tumor process, points out Santiago Guerrero, researcher of Center for Genetics and Genomics from UTE University.
Studies to find a cure for cancer are diverse around the world. These show that the appearance of tumor cells is mainly due to the acquisition of mutations in your DNA; These abnormalities give cancer cells diverse capacities for their survival and dissemination.
Despite these advances, many aspects of carcinogenesis have been poorly studied.

Thus, many drugs have been developed from this knowledge; even today, the complete genome of each cancer patient is studied in detail to manage a personalized medicine.
The researcher has worked in this line for more than six years, together with their colleagues have identified other proteins with a high therapeutic potential to treat breast and colon cancer.
The objective of these investigations is find new aspects of cancer cells that can be used for the development of new drugs.
