France’s National Centre for Scientific Research fellows has synthesised a molecule able to stop cancerous growth, and also block blood vessels, which may feed carcinoma. The discovery was revealed in the PloSOne magazine.
Experts believe the discovery, dubbed HB-19, will help treat cancer. What’s more, no toxicity is associated with HB-19.
HB-19's efficiency has already been proved in laboratory conditions during tests on mice and damaged human tissues.
