The end of toxic chemo? Blocking vitamin B-2 may stop cancer.
New research published in the journal Aging finds a compound that stops cancer cells from spreading by starving them of vitamin B-2. The findings may revolutionize traditional chemotherapy.
A team of British-based researchers set out to find a non-toxic therapeutic agent that targets the mitochondria of cancer cells.
Mitochondria are energy-producing organelles found inside each cell. The compound recently found by the scientists can stop cancer stem-like cells from proliferating by interfering with their energy-creating process inside the mitochondria.
The team was led by Prof. Michael Lisanti, the chair of translational medicine at the University of Salford in the United Kingdom
