00:00Can beer fight cancer? Here's what new study says.
00:07Beer, just a beverage or something more. Beer, usually a choice for light entertainment, may now prove helpful in the fight against cancer, according to new research.
00:20Yeast found in beer. Researchers at Imbol, Germany, and the University of Virginia School of Medicine studied the yeast Schizosaccharomyces palm S. palm used in brewing beer.
00:33How cells stay alive. When yeast cells' mitochondria hibernate to avoid stress, they become coated with deactivated ribosomes, which typically produce proteins.
00:44Yeast helps fight cancer. Researchers visualized how ribosomes attach to mitochondria at the molecular level using advanced single-particle cryo-electron, microscopy, and cryo-electron tomography.
00:59How cells survive with less nutrition. Cancer cells, due to their uncontrolled growth, frequently experience nutrient shortages and enter a dormant state to survive and evade detection by the immune system.
01:16Helps fight cancer in this way. Dr. Ahmed Jamah says, we need to understand how these cells survive and how they can help fight cancer.
01:28The link between cancer and beer yeast. The similarity between beer yeast and human cells makes it useful for studying cancerous cells.
