New synthetic anti-cancer molecule that targets two key mechanisms in the spread of malignant tumours through the body. The synthetic molecule JK-31 blocks the signalling of a “growth factor” chemical that promotes the creation of networks of blood vessels to feed tumours, but intervenes directly in the growth of the cancer itself, inhibiting a protein...
A revolutionary new scientific method developed at the University of Leeds will improve the diversity of ‘biologically active molecules’, such as antibiotics and anti-cancer agents. The researchers took their inspiration from evolution in nature. The research may uncover new pharmaceutical drugs that traditional methods would never have found.
