Calcium Overdose – Scientists Develop New Method To Kill Cancer Cells
Scientists have created a new antitumor drug that induces a lethal calcium influx in tumor cells by targeting specific channels. This innovative approach, using existing calcium ions in tumors and tested successfully in mice, offers a potential new method for cancer treatment.Activation of calcium channels results in a fatal influx of calcium ions into tumor cells.Calcium ions play a crucial role in cellular functions, yet can become harmful at elevated levels. Researchers have recently developed a compound that targets…
