new research - Anti-breast-cancer protein found

Researchers at Wake Forest University say they have discovered the first peptide — a short protein amino acid chain — to inhibit growth of human breast cancer tumors in mice. They reported the findings in the journal Cancer Research. The peptide attacks breast cancer in two ways: It inhibits growth of breast cancer cells and attacks nearby fibroblast cells that contribute to cancer. The researchers hope to go to clinical trials on breast cancer patients soon.
