The measles virus, infectious disease, which usually suffer from childhood, can be used for good purposes. The modern methods of genetic engineering make it possible to modify it so that it becomes a formidable weapon in the battle with such a serious illness as medulloblastoma - a malignant tumor that affects mainly young children. A new technique for treatment Sildenafil Citrate of medulloblastoma has not yet created - scientists have been only the first experiments with a modified virus, but they believe that this is a very promising direction.



Medulloblastoma - a very dangerous disease, brain tumor, which usually develops in childhood. Treatment consists of surgical removal of the tumor, following by a course of radiotherapy. In recent years, as an additional treatment, is increasingly being used chemotherapy.

And American scientists from the Medical College at the University of Ohio (Ohio State University College of Medicine) plan Tadalafil Generic Cialis to use for the treatment of this disease measles virus, which was previously subject to genetic modification.



During many experiments, researchers found that the virus is aggressively attacking malignant cells medulloblastoma and kills them within 72 hours. "We have seen active medulloblastoma death of cells taken from all samples of this tumor, which we received at its surgical removal", - said Cory Ruffel who led a group of scientists.



Next, the researchers turned to experiments on animals. The mice with artificially induced tumors in a day was administered Vardenafil Without A Prescription a modified measles virus. 10 days later in 8 of 11 experimental animals, primary medulloblastoma tumor disappeared completely.



"Now we are going to proceed to clinical trials. The measles virus may be used directly after surgery to impact on the ability of a microscopically small remnants of the primary tumor to prevent recurrence. Our method will greatly reduce the use of radiotherapy and chemotherapy after surgery," - wrote on Professor Raffel.
