PressTV - Cancer cells can trigger own suicide
Many cancer cells are equipped with a protein on their surface that makes it possible for them to send their self-destruction code to the body's immune system.
According to previous studies, a molecule on the surface of cancer and non-cancer cells, called CD47, allows these cells to avoid being destructed by sending the opposite signal, "Don't eat me" to immune cells.
Stanford University researchers identified a new antibody that blocks the CD47 activity and the transfer of the "Don't eat me" signal through an unidentified mechanism.
