Brain Cancer Research & Separating Healthy From Unhealthy Cells

By Rob Sutter


When it comes to treating tumors, brain cancer research specialists can tell you that there is a great deal of attention that goes into the cells. More specifically, the ability to differentiate between the healthy and unhealthy cells is going to be given a great amount of focus. What are the tools that can be put to use in order to make this easier for surgeons, you may wonder? As it seems, a certain drug may be put to use in order to fulfill such a purpose.

Brain cancer research is one of the broadest fields to consider, so it's likely that you will come across a number of studies. Each of them may put different approaches, as well as specific drugs, to use and each of them have yielded results to different degrees. However, what most people do not understand is that the surgical process can often be quite risky, especially when cells are hard to distinguish. It's clear that new methods are needed and organizations like Voices against Brain Cancer can say the same.

An article was posted on YottaFire and it went into detail about the utilized drug dubbed J101. According to the article in question, J101 has the ability to not only stop the growth of cancerous cells in the body but do so while leaving the healthy cells unaffected. To say that this possesses a great deal of success for the future would be nothing short of an understatement. Of course, many of you are probably wondering, specifically, why J101 is such a useful component for this purpose.

J101's function is to block a cellular "messaging" molecule, a substance by the name of polo-like kinase 1. While this may not be familiar to most, plk1 has the ability to send messages to cancer cells in the body and cause them to multiply and progress, thereby resulting in the growth of tumors later on. J101 was the drug talked about but the report spoke about three new drugs that operate in the same way. Not only are they similar in this regard but they can also cross the bloodstream easier than J101.

I do not think that anyone can argue with the level of attention brought to the field that entails brain cancer approaches. Certain drugs will be focused on more so than others and the ones that seem to differentiate between healthy and unhealthy cells are undeniably vital. When it comes to this type of cancer, it's hard to argue just how important they are. In time, I am sure that the level of potential seen here is going to be put into effect in the long run.
