Scientists from the University of Copenhagen in Denmark have discovered that cells are able to protect themselves against harmful mutations that may occur in the genetic code and lead to serious diseases.

The new study shows that the 53BP1 protein ingests, protects and accompanies the damaged DNA until the damage is repaired, according to the Viz Org newspaper.

Thus, the body has more time to correct genetic disorders.

As cancer usually develops from cells containing damaged nuclear DNA, it is recognized that tobacco smoke or UV rays cause lung or skin cancer because of their ability to destroy the skin. 39; DNA.

"We have discovered a specific mechanism in human cells that delays the spread of damaged DNA in multiplied cells." This discovery helps us understand how the body protects itself from many types of cancer, "said Professor Lucas. .

On the other hand, if the damaged cells are not modified, they can cause serious diseases, especially cancer.

From there, the researchers predict that the results of the recent study could help develop new drugs that can fight cancer caused by the change of DNA.

In another context, researchers have managed to genetically modify chickens, so it can put eggs containing drugs that treat certain types of cancers and arthritis.
