The researchers claimed, such treatment may be key to remove the currently incurable diseases. In fact, this method of testing in humans has started and the results are reported as relatively positive.
According to the Boston News Times, new treatments including injections into the artificial DNA, simulating disease in the body of the patient. This will trigger an "immune response" before the patients, helping the immune system to identify and eliminate the risk of disease if exposed.
Cure serious diseases by artificial DNA
Basically, the new treatment is expected to take effect by teaching the immune system to recognize a certain protein exists in a specific disease and eliminate it before the pathogen causing the infection to be sick .
Treatments on the new show is in the testing phase. Inovio, one of the companies developing the new technique, is studying the possibility of using artificial DNA to prevent women with cervical lesions of cervical cancer. Dr. Joseph Kim, Inovio leader, said the initial results promising and treatment can become a "cancer therapies universal".
Dr. Kim's point about "cancer therapies universal" based on the fact that 85% of cancers containing 1 protein called hTERT. By injecting an artificial DNA strands containing hTERT into the patient, the patient's body will be able to identify and attack it before onset.
Dr. Kim stressed: "We are nearing the launch of a brand-new wave, will change the way cancer treatment. The new approach will lead to better treatment and safety than for those with cancer. "
