- Researchers have discovered a rapid and sustainable way to synthetically produce a promising cancer-fighting compound right in the lab. The compound, designated EBC-46 and technically called tigilanol tiglate, works by promoting a localized immune response against tumors https://news.stanford.edu/2022/10/03/breakthrough-production-acclaimed-cancer-treating-drug/ 6 comments science
- Like the horse of Troy, scientists have developed a way to sneak synthetic cells right into tumor tissue, where they then begin producing cancer-fighting proteins from the inside. The technique was tested in both cell cultures and in mice, and found to be an effective treatment in both cases. https://newatlas.com/nano-factory-cancer-synthetic-cells/53442/ 101 comments science
