The iron in red meat reactivated an enzyme called telomerase through an iron-sensing protein known as Pirin .

This protein seemed to drive the progression of the cancer.

Cancer cells use this system to grow uncontrollably, and it’s this system that helped researchers find the link between red meat and cancer.

Thankfully, scientists were also able to determine a way to stop this link from activating by targeting Pirin specifically.
