"Article from The Independent just published gives further credence to CYDY’s ability to correct the immune system so it can inhibit the cancer cells’ nanotubes that suck the mitochondria out of T cells which gives rise to metastasis:
——————————————-
Cancer cells gain strength by forming “tiny tentacles” that suck the power out of immune cells, a recent study that could help develop new drug targets against the malignant disease has suggested.
The research, published in the journal Nature Nanotechnology, found that cancer cells disarm their potential attackers in the immune system by extending ultra-small tentacles that reach into immune cells and pull out their powerpack, the mitochondria.
In the research, scientists co-cultured breast cancer cells and immune cells, such as T cells, and found using cutting-edge microscopy techniques that the two cells were physically connected via tiny tendrils with widths mostly in the 100 nanometre to 1,000 nanometre range, several thousand times smaller than the width of a single human hair.
The researchers then stained mitochondria, which provide energy for cells, from the T cells with a fluorescent dye. They could see that the mitochondria, stained bright green, were pulled out of the immune cells through the nanotubes, and into the cancer cells.
“By carefully preserving the cell culture condition and observing intracellular structures, we saw these delicate nanotubes and they were stealing the immune cells’ energy source,” study co-corresponding author Hae Lin Jang from Brigham’s Center for Engineered Therapeutics said.
“This is a completely new mechanism by which cancer cells evade the immune system and it gives us a new target to go after”
