Researchers have recently discovered two proteins called Mahjong and Lgl that may help to identify how the body’s own cells fight back against cancer cells.

Healthy cells and cancerous cells compete with each other for survival. If healthy cells gain the advantage and surround cancer cells, the cancer cells will die. If the cancerous cells break free, they can continue to divide and grow undisturbed.

Lgl and Mahjong proteins are important in these cells’ competitiveness, influencing which cells will die.

This discovery could lead to new kinds of treatments for tumors, making up more than 80 percent of all cancers.
