The discovery, which has the potential to make a real revolution in medicine that has made the American scientists from the University of Rochester. They found the body of rodents-mole rats special protein INF beta, which literally includes a function of self-destruction inside cancer cells, thereby giving the rodents immunity to cancer.

The first studies showed that the protein belonging to the class of interferons, works extremely effectively. It affects all without exception cancer cells, destroying them and not leaving even a Ghost of a chance of relapse and recurrence of the tumor.

Scientists emphasize that the creation of a cure for cancer for a person on the basis of a new protein, if it may take many years. Professionals need to spend a lot more experiments and, in particular, to determine how INF beta affects healthy cells adjacent to cancer. However, the opening of scientists call "promising".
