Pre-clinical = animal only. Although, I'm to understand RBG is fierce animal at exercise and weight lifting, so there's that.
Looks like work on molecule called PJ34 that causes cancer cells to self-destruct is yielding some good results.
Cohen-Armon explained that the new study improves on a breakthrough made two years ago when the self-destruction mechanism in cancer cells was discovered.
“In research published in 2017, we discovered a mechanism that causes the self-destruction of human cancer cells during their duplication (mitosis) without affecting normal cells. We have now harnessed this information to efficiently eradicate human pancreatic cancer cells in xenografts (human organs transplanted in animals). The current results were obtained using a small molecule that evokes this self-destruction mechanism in a variety of human cancer cells.”
“It is important to note that no adverse effects were observed, and there were no changes in the weight gain of the mice, nor in their behavior,” she added. The mechanism acts efficiently in additional types of cancer, including types resistant to current therapies. The molecule is now being tested in pre-clinical trials, according to FDA regulations, before clinical trials begin.
