Ecuador dwarf innate immunity against cancer will become the saviors of mankind – dwarf, cancer – the pharmaceutical industry
According to the British Daily Mail reported that scientists claimed that living in remote parts of South America, Ecuador, despite the short stature of a dwarf population, but their body they have immunity against cancer, while life expectancy longer. This dwarf population hold the treatment of cancer “secret weapon”!
They are called “Laren dwarf (Larondwarfs)”, its average is only 4 feet tall, but they went so far as to maintain immunity to all forms of the disease and live longer. Currently, scientists are studying other human memory in a dwarf, but Laren is a lack of Hormone They think that this hormone can be developed by studying a very effective anti-cancer drug. Cancer Research UK in the field of senior experts expressed strong interest in the study, they said that this killer disease of cancer prevention is very important.
Now dwarf the world’s only 300 Laren patients, one third of people living in southern Ecuador, Loja Province, a remote village. With Laren dwarfism caused mainly due to inbreeding, and the crowd lack of a body called “insulin-like growth factor -1″ hormone.

In the general population, if the body of this hormone is too high, will result in advanced breast cancer, prostate cancer or colon cancer. Ecuadorian Association of hormone endocrinology expert Dzhami? Gu Wala? Yi Kurui Dr. Laren dwarf research in more than 10 years, he said, “We found people really were not laren dwarf with cancer, cancer can be found in our normal body of the crowd, but I have not been engaged in years of research found that patients had cancer Laren dwarf. We confirmed in each case of insulin-like growth factor -1 in patients with hormone Clinical cases are associated with cancer, but low insulin-like growth factor -1 hormone groups but never get cancer. ”
According to the opinion of Dr. Yi Kurui was found to reduce hormone insulin-like growth factor -1 would mean that find ways to prevent cancer. From a medical perspective, this is very exciting indeed excited. He also noted that the physical mechanism Laren dwarf population may prevent Diabetes . Although diabetes is due to eating too much and lead to obesity form a lack of food and nutrition, but the disease is still with the human immune system to a certain extent.
The same time, the University of Southern California, Walter? Dr. Lange has also conducted a study of experimental mice in his copy Laren dwarf phenomenon, a result he was very surprised, “Laren dwarf” mice was actually normal mice life 10 times. He believed that the body less hormone insulin-like growth factor -1 would mean a lower chance of suffering the DNA damage, which often occurs with age is likely to cause cancer.
Lange said, “In experiments on rats, we found that the connection between hormone life may be extended genome. However, the genome of this hormone can not only live longer, but also because the human body caused by aging of DNA damage produced influence, and in cancer therapy plays an important role. “He pointed out that our work devoted to proving the probability of genetic mutations and cancer clear relationship between reduced, we hope to confirm a human gene can develop potentially effective cancer prevention of drug.
Oxford University scientists, medical oncology at Cancer Research UK experts in Bath? Professor Hassan said the discovery is important for cancer research a causal relationship. Before the researchers had mistakenly believe that certain genes can prevent cancer.
For rats, flies and worms in the corresponding experiment, if the body hormone insulin-like growth factor -1 removed, these animals will not get cancer, and even longer survival. At present, this phenomenon has little Laren mapping dwarf in size the crowd, they are susceptible to little or no hormone insulin-like growth factor -1. Hassan stressed that recent research shows that this is likely to reduce the hormone insulin-like growth factor -1 to make people live longer and reduce the risk of cancer. This may in the future is a very important cancer prevention measures, but more research is needed in this area.
