Q. can diet control breast cancer if the gene is supposed to be the cause of breast cancer? A. No…I am sorry, it can`t. If it is radiation then diet cannot control. When we have exposure to toxic food and non toxic food where the free radical production is high, the free radical production can be controlled with the consumption of antioxidant rich food.

By engineering ZFPs that recognize a specific DNA sequence Sangamo has created ZFP transcription factors (ZFP TF(TM)) that can control gene expression and, consequently, cell function. 7 Once scientists perfect methods to control gene expression, we believe it will be possible to "engineer" DNA so that our cells will be biologically immortal and completely resistant to cancer. The advance, which works by manipulating a master control gene in cells that changes the level of activity of other genes, has so far been demonstrated only in mice. |
