Few people think of wasps as useful insects.In summer they appear, mainly in hot weather. Wasps can not fly past the sweet. They are very painful sting. If an adult bites a wasp, then he may have an allergic reaction. But there is one very positive effect from them. The poison of some wasps possesses a strong anti-cancer effect. This property contains the poison of the Brazilian wasp. Scientists figured out how to develop a cure for incurable cancer.
Яд бразильской осы в скором времени может стать A new medicine in the fight against cancerous tumors. It was recently discovered that the poison of these wasps possesses such a curative property. They live only in Brazil. The bottom line is that the poison does not have its toxic effect on all affected areas.
Polybia Paulista wasp venom contains peptidePolybia-MP1. It acts on some areas of the body affected by malignant growth. First of all, these are prostate cancer cells, leukemia, malignant tumor of the bladder. These malignant neoplasms are very resistant to many medicinal medicines.
The Brazilian wasp or polystin refers tosubfamily of public, or paper wasps. The Polybia family has very complex behavior. They build very multi-faceted honeycombs with countless outlets. In the cells live working wasps. They are based on a single female. They inhabit the tropical part of South America. They live in Brazil. The venom of the Brazilian wasp helps to suppress malignant neoplasms.
Научные работники из университета Лидса, который is in the UK, it has long been known that an aspen peptide can kill a malignant tumor. Therefore, they engaged in in-depth study of the venom of the Brazilian wasp. Paul Beals and some other British scientistshave understood, why there is such surprising reaction to aspen poison. Peptides of MP1 venom interact well with lipids - fatty acids, supplying cells with energy and forming membranes of healthy cells. The venom of a Brazilian wasp kills cancer cells, affecting the upper membrane and forming cuts through which the tumor cells can interact with healthy cells and be supplied with oxygen. At the same time, no normal harm is done to the normal working cell. The difference is that in a healthy cell the inner layer consists of phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylethanolamine, and in the cell affected by a cancerous tumor it acts as an outer layer.
The magnitude of the opening of the pores, which are formed as a result of the action of the venom of the Brazilian wasp, is very small. But this is enough for RNA molecules and proteins to go beyond the outer layer of the cancer cell.
В британском журнале Biophysical Journal выходит an article on "The medicine from the venom of the Brazilian wasp", which was published by Paul Beals. In it, he describes in detail how an aspen poison kills cancer cells. According to scientists, an in-depth study of its composition will make it possible to widely use drugs from poison in medicine for oncological diseases.
To test their assumption, the scientists conductedexperimental research. To do this, they developed a cell membrane model containing phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylethanolamine. The membrane was exposed to peptide MP1. Then they began to observe the effect. Experienced scientists have seen that the presence of the phosphatidylserine component helps the venom of the Brazilian wasp to act on the cell membrane, and the connection of the phosphatidylethanolamine component with the aspen poison destroys the upper layer of the cell membrane and makes small microcracks in it. Through such micropores, the affected cell begins to function normally.
В скором будущем научные разработчики планируют to study in great detail the effect of the aspen peptide peptide on a cancer cell-damaged cell membrane. They want to multiply this healing effect many times. Create from the venom of the Brazilian wasp cure for cancer of powerful action and a new form of safe antitumor drugs. This will be of great benefit to patients suffering from cancer.
Alternative method of quality treatment inthe fight against cancers will be an excellent addition to methods such as radio and chemotherapy that kill not only cancer-affected areas, but also perfectly healthy cells.
