Dogs with cancer savior fish antimicrobial peptides inhibit tumor 30 days after treatment.

Academia Sinica Research Associate Chih-Yi Chen found the dog cancer treatment, fish antimicrobial peptides inhibit tumor 30 days after treatment, the pain from surgery and chemotherapy.
Academia Sinica's Institute of Cell Biology and Individual Research Station Research Associate Chih-Yi Chen Linhai report "with fish antitumor activity of antimicrobial peptides cancer" in the study of dog cancer treatment, the results showed after 30 days of treatment can inhibit tumor, and animal behavior indicators all dogs in general as normal.
Chih-Yi Chen said that a dog is man's best friend, and the dog will be due to virus infection or add adjuvants in vaccines, triggering a highly metastatic and difficult to cure cancer, particularly Golden Retriever, Doberman Dog and Beagle, etc. dogs.


He said that cancer occurs in older dogs, occur in 8.5 years, past the dog cancer treatment, including surgery or chemotherapy infection. Surgery often can not be completely removed, and will relapse, chemotherapy drugs but also because the process of transporting proteins outside the cell discharge, resistance.
Chih-Yi Chen mentioned, from fish found in possession of one of the antimicrobial peptides, originally with activity against Gram-positive and negative bacteria, the mice experiments can be anti-tumor activity, in collaboration with veterinary Pingtung University of Science and Technology, Associate Professor Keith Gazette Experiments carried out by dog ​​cancer treatment.
He said, "pets are living important partner, as pets can not get cancer treatment is very sad," after 30 days of treatment by fish antimicrobial peptides, found a very good effect, can inhibit tumor dog, let the dog can from surgery and chemotherapy, allowing the dog does not have pain and discomfort.
His analysis of animal behavior and indicators dog found after treatment with the normal dog, in line with standard drug development process, and hope that the future can be applied in human tumors.
Agricultural Biotechnology Research Center, Academia Sinica, 24, organized the "2014 cancer drug research results will be published," reported a total of 10 with cancer treatment and there is potential for the development of drug research and development results, and also invite domestic and foreign business representatives and academics attended, hope Transfer Taiwan academic research, establish industry-university cooperation.
