− | When cancer hits, what can we do?Chemotherapy?Radiation?Or surgery?All above is a choice,but seems to do really a lot of harm to our body,killing cancer cells as well as normal cells. So, it occurs to us, why not let the cancer cells to apoptosis themselves? | + | When cancer hits, what can we do? |
− | We learned that we can activate a certain gene or inhibit a certain gene, both are able to cause series of changes in cells, ending up in apoptosis.

− | What’s more, gene regulation therapy makes it easier for our therapy to “recognize” the cancer cells from normal cells. Just like a switch, the apoptosis system will only be activated when the plasmid recognize that this is a cancer cell. There are differences between cancer cells and normal cells and we take advantage of that, design our plasmid in a certain way ,making it able decide whether this is a cancer cell needed to go apoptosis or this is a normal cell and leave it alone.
