Here’s a promising article. Seems two professors at the University of Oklahoma say they’ve developed a protein that can stop the spread of certain cancer cells without damaging normal cells. The new fusion protein keeps some types of cancer cells from ingesting a vital protein called methionine and doesn’t affect normal cells because, unlike cancer cells, normal cells can be healthy without that protein.
The research started with breast cancer and expanded to include other types of solid tumors. They found the fusion protein to be just as helpful in fighting lung, prostate and pancreatic cancers and could be applicable to other forms of cancer as well.
Of course, more animal, clinical and human testing are required as well as FDA approval, so it may be ten years before it’s brought to market. Still, it’s a very encouraging breakthrough.
