Recurrent cancer

Because the experiments were performed in fruit flies, still more research is needed to determine whether the same mechanism operates in humans.

But the study could eventually inform both strategies for improving tissue regeneration and approaches for preventing treatment resistant cancer recurrence.

And I think this is a very important study because especially when we're learning about the cancer vaccines that are coming up and we're seemingly getting inching and inching closer to not a cure to cancer, I'd say, but more preventative.

methods of cancer where you're effectively getting rid of it before it even comes to you and i guess vaccine is the term they would like to use for that one but you know the mechanism of cancer being that it literally hijacks other cells and their work mechanisms to regenerate, multiply, and eventually become such a devastating force.

Right.

But they kept mentioning how there is always a chance, especially with certain types of cancer of recurrence.

And I think it's especially important to figure out how we can limit certain cancer recurrence.

And this might be a pathway using this study, as they mentioned how descendants of their cells were reported to be seven times more resistant to cell death.
