  • @przemkowaliszewski3290
    @przemkowaliszewski3290 Před 3 lety +2

    I define cancer in a different way. Tumorigenesis is a
    complex, temporo-spatial, multistep phenomenon that begins locally in macromolecules
    at the level of quantum interactions during spontaneous thermodynamic
    fluctuations [Waliszewski P et al. On
    the holistic approach in cellular and cancer biology: nonlinearity, complexity,
    and quasi-determinism of the dynamic cellular network. J Surg Oncol 1998;
    68(2): 70-78]. Macromolecules undergo deterministic chaotic oscillations
    caused by physical forces whose average value in time is zero. Some of those fluctuations
    lead to the irreparable DNA damage in protein encoding genes as well as to the
    altered function of DNA polymerases. Those alterations result in both
    qualitative and quantitative changes in non-linear, non-bijective, and
    quasi-deterministic dynamic cellular network composed of genes, their
    regulatory elements, RNAs and functional proteins. In particular, mutations
    appear in some critical genes during DNA synthesis and replication (compare [Tomasetti C et al. Stem cell division, somatic
    mutation, cancer etiology, and cancer prevention. Science 2017; 355: 1330-1334.]).
    A novel cellular phenotype emerges. Since that process occurs random and
    parallel in different stem cells, malignant phenotype may appear in different
    tissue localizations. Usually, cells with the mutated DNA self-organize in a tumor,
    that is, a tissue structure composed not only of malignant cells, but also
    fibroblasts, muscle cells, and blood vessels. Although that lesion develops
    locally, phenotypically malignant cells spread over the body and colonize the
    distant organs as metastases. The metabolic influences of the local lesion
    change eventually metabolism at different levels of hierarchical organization of
    multicellular organism, from
    subcellular organelles up to the organism level. Those metabolic alterations lead
    to death of patients. Thus, a variety of interactions within that hierarchy determine
    the course of tumorigenesis as a disease.

    Lack of aptosis seams to be the problem.
    If you can find a treatment that can kill cells that does not have the aptosis gene functioning, then you can cure cancer.
    But how can that be done? The aptosis gene doesn't give off a protein market on it's cellular membrane does it? If it did, then you can create a treatment based on that.
    The only way I can think of, is engineering a virus with the aptosis gene that inserts that gene.
