We have another miracle molecule
which cures the cancer! No doubt about it when scientists at McMaster
University work hard!
A team of scientists at McMaster University
has discovered a drug, thioridazine, successfully kills cancer stem cells in
the human while avoiding the toxic side-effects of conventional cancer
treatments.
“The unusual aspect of our finding is the
way this human-ready drug actually kills cancer stem cells; by changing them
into cells that are non-cancerous,” said Mick Bhatia, the principal
investigator for the study and scientific director of McMaster’s Stem Cell and
Cancer Research Institute in the Michael G. DeGroote School of Medicine.
Unlike chemotherapy and radiation,
thioridazine appears to have no effect on normal stem cells.
Well, what
miracle molecule comes next?
