Killing Cancer Cells from Within

Studies are under way to use the cancer cell’s own genes to emphasize the ones that tells it to self-destruct known as Fatty Acid Synthase (FASN). The enzyme is a key to understanding the growth cycle of the cancer cell thus making the mechanism that controls it. This is the result of studies on laboratory mouse that have shown the increased levels of the said fatty acid in ones that have late stage cancer and it can also be responsible for certain cases when remission is attained through other mechanisms that have so far eluded cancer researchers.
