Scientists discover potential new improved way to kill cancer cells
Scientists at the University of Glasgow have discovered a process to trigger the death of cancer cells that could be more effective than current methods. The new method of killing cancer cells – called Caspase Independent Cell Death (CICD), and published today in Nature Cell Biology, led to the complete eradication of tumours in experimental models. Currently most...
