Certain nucleosides impede the replication of tumor cells as a step toward preventing cancer.
When individuals consume food, they also ingest nucleic acids found in all living organisms. According to research published in PLOS ONE by Associate Professor Akiko Kojima-Yuasa of Osaka Metropolitan University’s Graduate School of Human Life and Ecology and her colleagues, the compounds in these acids may have the potential to inhibit the growth of cancer cells.
Consuming nucleic acids found in food has been shown to boost the immune system and prevent some diseases. The nucleotides and nucleosides that result from digesting the acids are largely responsible for these beneficial effects.
Professor Kojima-Yuasa’s team used compounds of nucleic acids derived from salmon milt DNA and torula yeast RNA and showed that chemical compounds like guanosine could prevent the proliferation of certain cancer cells in laboratory rats. The compounds stopped the cells from starting their replication phase.
“Our research provides a new perspective on the physiological functions of nucleic acids derived from food,” Professor Kojima-Yuasa explained. “We hold hope that this will be a crucial step toward cancer prevention.”

One Small Step in the moonshot program for Jill and Joe Biden’s Prayers , and the investment in the moonshot program by the United States Government..
Cancer is a multifaceted Disease and a result of the external triggers as well as internal triggers , which cause the CELLS TO GO AWRY AND and the balance of the cycle of cell birth death and disposal over its normal life cycle is disturbed.
Wish that such efforts become ALL hands and brains on deck, for MOONSHOT efforts for the welfare of Humanity and survival of Life.
Seeing science and nutrition come together like this is truly inspiring. It’s amazing to think that the foods we eat every day could play a role in combating cancer. 바카라사이트
Great. Now how about a study combining the use of antithelmintics, DMSO, Curcumin, CBD-THC, Boswellia, medicinal mushrooms and a few other cheap and easily available substances that people are using to cure themselves and their pets from various cancers? All we have so far are a fair number of anecdotal reports.
Salmon milt, ie sperm [or the fish equivalent]?? Ew. Is that a food in some cuisines? I suppose it’s no worse than roe, which is a delicacy, but sperm?
