After the latest rumour of "salt Cure" and prevention of the deadliest Ebola disease spreading in West Africa, Scientist have come up with yet another research on the possibilities of salt injection to kill cancer cells.

Scientists have created a technique which can cause cancer cells to self-destruct by injecting them with salt.

An international team, including researchers from the University of Southampton, has helped to create a molecule that can cause cancer cells to die by carrying sodium and chloride ions into the cells.

Synthetic ion transporters have been created before but this is the first time researchers have demonstrated how an influx of salt into a cell triggers cell death.

These synthetic ion transporters,
described this week in the journal Nature Chemistry, could point the way to new anti-cancer drugs while also benefiting patients with cystic fibrosis.

“This work shows how chloride transporters can work with sodium channels in cell membranes to cause an influx of salt into a cell. We found we can trigger cell death with salt,” said study co-author Professor Philip Gale, of the University of Southampton.

Cells in the human body work hard to maintain a stable concentration of ions inside their cell membranes. Disruption of this delicate balance can trigger cells to go through apoptosis, known as programmed cell death, a mechanism the body uses to rid itself of damaged or dangerous cells.

One way of destroying cancer cells is to trigger this self-destruct sequence by.... Continue.... http://ask9ja..com/2014/08/salt-injection-can-kill-cancer-cells.html

Hmm... I see.
