Target Identified to Inhibit Prostate Cancer Cells

Prostate cancer cells producing too much PIM1 are particularly sensitive to the inhibition of a protein called polo-like kinase (PLK1).

Clinical Breakthroughs
Jul 24, 2014

Diabetes Drug Inhibits Cancer Growth

Metformin, a drug used to lower insulin levels in diabetics, has been shown to halt tumor progression by cutting cancer cells’ energy supply.
