Cancer’s Achilles heel…

[timotur]

A new study revealed what could be cancer's 'Achilles' heel,' after researchers discovered an enzyme that fuels tumor growth when oxygen levels are low.

Researchers at the University of British Columbia have uncovered the protein in question, called CAIX, allowing cancerous cells to adapt and aggressively grow.

The study suggests that inhibiting this protein could treat the most lethal kinds of cancer, including breast, pancreatic, lungs, bowel, and prostate.

It was conducted at the University of British Columbia, will help researchers in the develop ment of drugs that will attack cancerous tumors and their growth.

Fantastic ! Gives hope ! Thanks bc

Really interesting linking of CAIX inhibition with ferroptosis. Natural inhibitors of CAIX include birch bark extracts- betulinic acid. Natural promoters of ferroptosis include Artemisinin. Perhaps combining the two could be a worthwhile strategy in anyone's continuing singular trial.

I sure hope one of these ideas pays off soon.

It’s excellent news but it won’t help us. May take years to be operationalized.
