Zika virus nthawi zonse imawoneka ngati chiwopsezo chowopsa, koma modabwitsa za Zika news, ofufuza ku Washington University School of Medicine ndi University of California School of Medicine tsopano akukhulupirira kuti kachilomboko kakhoza kugwiritsidwa ntchito ngati njira yothetsera kupha ma cell ovuta kwambiri omwe ali ndi khansa muubongo.

Zika ndi kachilombo kofala ndi udzudzu komwe kumakhala kovutirapo kwa amayi apakati chifukwa cholumikizana ndi microcephaly, vuto lobadwa nalo lomwe limapangitsa mutu wa mwana kukhala wocheperako. Akuluakulu omwe ali ndi kachilomboka amathanso kukhala ndi nkhawa chifukwa mwina zimathandizira kuzinthu monga kukumbukira kukumbukira kwakanthawi komanso kukhumudwa. (Zokhudzana: Mlandu Woyamba wa Matenda a Zika Wam'deralo Chaka chino Adangonenedwa Ku Texas)

Pazochitika zonsezi, Zika imakhudza maselo am'magazi muubongo, ndichifukwa chake asayansi amakhulupirira kuti kachilomboka kangathandize kupha maselo amtundu womwewo m'matumbo aubongo.

"Timatenga kachilombo, timaphunzira momwe amagwirira ntchito kenako timayeserera," atero a Michael S. Diamond, MD, Ph.D., pulofesa wa zamankhwala ku Washington University School of Medicine komanso wolemba nawo mnzake wa kafukufukuyu. kumasula. "Tiyeni tigwiritse ntchito bwino lomwe, tigwiritse ntchito kuthetsa maselo omwe sitikufuna. Tengani ma virus omwe nthawi zambiri amatha kuwononga ndikupangitsa kuti achite zabwino."

Pogwiritsa ntchito zidziwitso zomwe adapeza za momwe Zika imagwirira ntchito, asayansi adapanga mtundu wina wa kachilomboka kamene chitetezo chathu cha mthupi chitha kuwukira, ngati chingakhudze maselo athanzi. Kenako adalowetsa mtundu watsopanowu m'maselo am'maglioblastoma (mtundu wofala kwambiri wa khansa yaubongo) omwe adachotsedwa kwa odwala khansa.

Vutoli lidatha kupha ma cell a khansa omwe nthawi zambiri amakana mitundu ina ya chithandizo, kuphatikiza chemotherapy. Idayesedwanso pa mbewa zotupa muubongo ndipo idakwanitsa kuchepetsa kuchuluka kwa khansa. Osati zokhazo, koma mbewa zomwe zidalandira chithandizo chouziridwa ndi Zika zidakhala motalikirapo kuposa omwe amathandizidwa ndi placebo.

Ngakhale kuti sipanakhalepo mayesero achipatala a anthu, uku ndi kupambana kwakukulu kwa anthu 12,000 omwe amakhudzidwa ndi glioblastoma pachaka.

Gawo lotsatira ndikuwona ngati kachilomboka kangaphe maselo am'mimba mwa mbewa. Kuchokera pamenepo, ofufuza adzafunika kumvetsetsa Zika bwino ndikuphunzira ndendende Bwanji ndipo bwanji imalimbana ndi maselo a khansa mu ubongo ndipo ngati angagwiritsidwe ntchito pochiza mitundu ina ya khansa yaukali.
