  • Researchers identify anti-cancer amino acid fragment

    Scientists have identified an amino acid fragment that can be used to halt cancer spread, says a study. By studying proteins thrombospondin-1 and prosaposin, a trans-Atlantic research team has identified a five-amino acid fragment of prosaposin that significantly reduces metastatic spread in mouse models of prostate, breast and lung cancer. The findings suggest that a prosaposin-based drug ...

  • Grapefruit nanoparticles can deliver anti-cancer drug Study

    Scientists have engineered nanoparticles derived from grapefruit lipids that could be used to deliver anti-cancer and other drugs to tumour cells, says a study. Grapefruit has long been known for its health benefits, and the subtropical fruit may revolutionise how medical therapies like anti-cancer drugs are delivered to specific tumour cells, say researchers.
