Western media: Australian experts confirmed the efficacy of herbal destroy cancer but the principle is unknown

Reference News Network September 11 reported the Spanish newspaper 

abc website September 9 reported that a research team at the University of Adelaide, Australia confirmed that traditional Chinese herbal medicine has a powerful effect to kill cancer cells. This species in Chinese medicine has been approved for the treatment of various cancers, usually used to assist western medicine chemotherapy.

It allows researchers were surprised that, despite the efficacy of the drug have verified this, but nothing is known about its anticancer principle.

The study, published in the << target >> Journal of Oncology is the first attempt molecular Chinese traditional medicine to undertake a comprehensive description of, rather than molecular action of each component of a separate study.

Adelson said: 'If we split the prescription of traditional Chinese medicine ingredients, you will find a single component does not play a good combination to effect various components markedly, and minimal side effects..'

He also noted that the study is the first attempt to demonstrate the molecular mode of action of the mixture obtained from various herbs complex components. Australian researchers from the root of Sophora and clay Ling two kinds of Chinese herbal medicine extracted ingredient.

The researchers used the latest gene sequencing technology to identify and 'biological pathways.' This role in the culture of traditional Chinese medicine prescription of breast cancer tumor cells.

Adelson said: 'We have confirmed that the activated gene expression of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine chemotherapy is the same biological pathway, but the role of different genes.'

He further explained that these genes capable of regulating cell division and the survival period of the prescription seems to have changed is the regulation of the cell cycle, induce cancer cell death pathways towards the development and, ultimately, kill cancer cells. In this study, the use of technology can be used for other specific molecular mechanisms of herbal onset were studied, so as to use traditional Chinese medicine in Western society open road.

? Hong Kong-based pharmaceutical industry consultant Jason Mann said: 'These companies are targeting China is a growing middle class.'

Reported that Ye Yang said there was still attractive to Western medicine therapy patients is not clear how, but 'China's population accounts for a quarter of the world's population, if we can solve the problem of Chinese people, it has been made to solve global problems a great contribution. '
