There could be various factors to consider when it comes to the structures of brain tumors. It is clear that these are some of the most intricate growths to consider and the fact that various types of cells make them up is something that cannot be overlooked. This is especially true when considering that procedures have to be put into place for the sake of breaking said cells apart. These cells differ in terms of physical appearance; is it possible that this can be linked to chromosomes?
According to a report on Medical Xpress, it seems as though this is a case of "chromosomal abnormalities" coming into effect. Associate professor of biological sciences Jianhua Xing said that there has to be a certain level of understanding when talking about the diversity between cells. If this is seen, Xing believed that this could lead to the creation of better remedies. The report said that Xing worked alongside Yi-Hong Zhou, a neurological surgical specialist, in order to focus on this particular matter to a greater degree.
Xing and Zhou, according to the article, made the conclusion that cell diversity could be arrived at because of genes which have different numbers of copies of chromosome 7. For those not in the know, this means that brain tumors have a greater chance of surviving in the human body. It seems like there are a number of potential triggers, as organizations such as Voices against Brain Cancer would be able to attest to. Cancer cells are able to cross over the security systems of sorts seen in the body, which is what causes the formation of more chromosomes than needed.
When it comes to the factors to consider in the way of cell shifts, the mis-segregation of chromosomes is apparently the strongest to make note of. Without this, tumors would not be able to progress in the brain as well as they might have been able to otherwise. There are various efforts to consider, many of them being done in attempt to keep chromosomes at more normal levels. The scientific process is a complicated one, though, and the prevalence of variables is a point that cannot be questioned.
Can it be said that chromosomes are the only factor that can lead to the formation and progression of brain tumors? It would be a lofty claim to make, as there are other potential factors that can make this come about, which is why efforts are continually put forth by individuals like Xing and Zhou. Even though one key might be found in order to take away one lock, many other locks have to be considered. With cancer cells being so advanced, though, one pathway becoming open is welcome.
