Scientists at the Arizona State University have discovered a new resting phase in the cell cycle of the neuroepithelial cells, which puts them in a state of dormancy. This phenomenon can be leveraged to make the tumor cells of the brain dormant and thereby reverse brain cancer. Read the article for more insights! Scientists have discovered a new resting phase, named neural G 0 , in neuroepithelial cells, in which the cells are dormant.
When brought to this phase, cancer cells can also be made dormant, thus enabling cancer reversal. Initially, this study was aimed at evaluating the possible benefits of stem cells in treating neurodegenerative diseases. The neural G 0 phase is characterized by the upregulation of key genes specific for neural development. Mutations in brain cancer may result in an exponential upregulation of these genes, causing the cells to break out of the neural G 0…
