Beside funny and unique, kangaroo is useful for patients with skin cancer. Kangaroos State scientists from Australia said that the animal has potential to prevent DNA damage associated with many cases of skin cancer in humans.

The researchers at Melbourne University are investigating whether the DNA repair enzyme found in animals can provide an example for the prevention of this DNA damage.

"Several other research teams have proposed 'dream cream' contains a DNA repair enzyme that you can apply on the skin after a day under the sun," said Linda Feketeova, a scientist. "We are currently examining whether this is feasible to be produced by examining the chemical content behind a DNA repair system."

Feketeova and his partner, Uta Wille, in collaboration with scientists at the University of Innsbruck in Austria, are investigating whether human DNA is damaged by the sun can be improved by using the example of a kangaroo. By using Spectrometer instrument, they will simulate the impact caused by kangaroos enzyme in the DNA that would develop a skin cancer.

"We were very surprised that the DNA repair process also resulted in a number of chemical byproducts, which have never been seen before," said Wille.
"Our plan is to learn all these products in order to understand whether the DNA repair enzymes can be harmonized into a safe method and effective for the prevention of skin cancer," he said.

The specific repaired enzymes in kangaroos, which also occurs in some bacteria and fish, provide additional protection for their skin which is not owned by
