The poison of the Brazilian wasp is a cure for cancer
Few people consider os 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.
Healing venom
The venom of the Brazilian wasp can soon become a new medicine in the fight against cancerous growths. 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.
The Polybia Paulista wasp venom contains the Polybia-MP1 peptide. It acts on some areas of the body affected by malignant growth. First of all, these are cancer cells of the prostate gland, leukemia, malignant tumor of the bladder. These malignant neoplasms are very resistant to many medicinal medicines.
Brazilian wasp
The Brazilian wasp or polystin belongs to the subfamily 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.
Action of the
poison Scientists from the University of Leeds, who is in the UK, have long learned 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 scientists realized why such an amazing reaction to aspen poison occurs. 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.
New drug
The amount of pore opening that results from exposure to 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.
The British journal Biophysical Journal published 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.
Verified by the experience of
To test its assumption, the scientists conducted experimental studies. 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 compound of the phosphatidylethanolamine component with 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.
Alternative method
In the near future, scientific developers are planning to study in 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.
An alternative method of qualitative treatment in the fight against cancerous tumors will be an excellent addition to methods such as radio and chemotherapy that kill not only cancer-affected areas, but perfectly healthy cells.
