Elephants uninfected by cancer. Reveal a medical secret!

Many scientists have suggested that some animals do not develop cancer, such as elephants and whales, and some have realized that the size of these large animals protects them from cancer.
In 2012, Vincent decided to examine the genes of the African elephant to see if he possessed other genes for fighting cancer.

The study revealed that elephants do not depend on cancer at all, but rather a gene capable of reviving another destructive gene: it is responsible for the destruction of cancer cells, as at home. other animals, including bats.

The vital gene, called LIF6, targets cells that are about to turn into cancerous tumors and destroy them.

Experiments have enabled researchers to find that when elephants begin to be exposed to carcinogenic lesions, the tumors progressively diminish by activating the lifesaving defense system, the LIF6 gene.

Scientists hope to find drugs that mimic the effect of the cancer resistance gene and develop revolutionary new treatments for future cancer patients.
