Scientists trick cancer cells into making the drugs that kill them
Scientists have developed a promising new cancer-fighting strategy that uses carbon monoxide naturally produced by tumor cells to manufacture powerful drugs inside the cancer cells themselves. Early laboratory experiments suggest the technique could selectively attack cancer while sparing healthy cells, potentially paving the way for safer chemotherapy alternatives.
Japanese researchers have developed a revolutionary method to fight cancer: they have learned to use carbon monoxide released by cancer cells to synthesize drugs directly inside the tumor, keeping healthy tissues intact.
Technique transforms carbon monoxide released by cancer cells into a toxic compound for them, without reaching healthy cells
Scientists Trick Cancer Cells Into Producing Drugs That Kill Them
Japanese researchers have developed an experimental cancer-treatment strategy that uses carbon monoxide produced by tumor cells to manufacture anti-cancer compounds inside those same cells. Led by Katsunori Tanaka of the RIKEN Pioneering Research Center (PRI), the team showed in laboratory experiments that an albumin-protected palladium catalyst could trigger drug production in several cancer cell lines [...]
