BE PROUD OF INDIAN GENIUS

Dear Friends

A feather in the cap of Indian genius. Read the News. Last
week there was TV news on world wide channels BUT, BUT they
did not mention the name of the doctor. NOW YOU KNOW THE
REAL STORY.

Story of super mouse appeared in most TV channels.

BE PROUD OF INDIAN GENIUS.

Mumbaikar develops anti-cancer gene in US

NEW DELHI: Vivek Rangnekar, one of Mumbai's own who is now
settled in the US, has created the world's first breed of
super mice that are resistant to cancer, even the highly
aggressive forms.

Dr Rangnekar, professor of radiation medicine at the
University of Kentucky, who spent over 25 years of his life
in Matunga, a central Mumbai suburb, created the breed with
a more active tumour-suppressor Par-4 gene.

Carrying this gene made them completely invulnerable to
cancer. Not only did they not develop tumours, they even
lived longer than the control animals, indicating that they
had no toxic side-effects.

Reporting this breakthrough in the journal Cancer Research,
Dr Rangnekar, who studied at Don Bosco School and the
Indian Education Society School in Dadar, said the gene
offered the potential, unlike most other cancer treatments,
of destroying cancer cells without harming normal cells.

Rangnekar told TOI, "We found that these mice with the
super protein killed the cancer cells which were produced
inside their body, both artificially and spontaneously.
What's most exciting is that through our cell culture
studies, we know that this killer gene only destroys cancer
cells. It does not harm normal cells at all and there are
very few such molecules in both animals and humans."

Rangnekar, who completed his bachelor's from M V College in
Andheri, his masters from Harkisondas Hospital and PhD from
Bombay University before completing his post-doctoral
studies from the University of Chicago, now plans to breed
these super mice with other types of animals that are prone
to cancers of the lung, breast and colon to see if the pups
become resistant to these cancers.
