Act scientists find "bait" to lure cancer cells "commit suicide"

According to Xinhua News Agency, the French electricity researchers announced on the 15th study shows that people can use a molecular "bait" to simulate the DNA (DNA) damage, thereby promoting cancer cells to commit suicide. 

 Doctors often use chemotherapy and radiation therapy damage to cancer cells, thereby causing programmed cell death. However, for some time, these therapies to the cancer cells enough to damage caused by programmed cell death provoked, and who survived cancer to self-repair, so that the course of treatment to no avail. 

 To deal with this situation, Paris, France, Marie Curie Research Institute Teles led researchers to create small DNA fragments, copying the genetic code at both ends of the double helix structure of damaged, so that those stubborn cancer cells that they suffer serious , thereby "committing suicide", that is, programmed cell death. If all goes well, researchers may be the beginning of the end of 2010 volunteers started in clinical trials.
