Promising Research: Turning Off Cancerous Cells with a Protein Switch

The video discusses an aggressive treatment for tumors and introduces new research from America that suggests scientists have found a way to turn off cancerous cells. Experiments on mice showed that previously incurable liver tumors were eradicated by targeting a protein called Mick. This protein can be switched on or off, and when reduced by an antibiotic, cancer disappears. While the discovery is significant, human trials are still years away, and it's uncertain if this will benefit human patients. The research opens new avenues for cancer treatment.
