Scientists have discovered the body of marsupials unusual enzyme that repairs damaged DNA. The image of this enzyme could theoretically work means to prevent skin cancer. For example, sun cream.
"Our research team proposes to create a" superkrem "containing enzymes that are able to repair DNA, - says Linda Feketeova from the University of Melbourne. - In theory, it will be a cream that you can apply to your skin after a day in the sun. It remains only to understand, in our power to establish whether it is him. "
Australian scientists working on the problem in collaboration with a team from the University of Innsbruck in Austria. It is necessary to find out whether the sun damaged human DNA to be restored by "kangaroo model."
"We were very surprised by this effect, which is also characterized by the emergence of previously unknown by-products, - said the Austrian researcher Uta Willie. - We will study these products to see whether the enzyme become the basis of a new method skin cancer prevention ".
At Kangaroo no immunity to this type of tumor, but the same enzyme discovered by scientists, provides these amazing animals extra protection.
