Technology
Scientists of the Max-Planck-Institute of Biochemistry have identified a unique cyclic molecule that diminishes extracellular matrix production thereby reducing tumor growth in cancer with no toxicity. Our scientists have validated the reduction of tumor growth in the presence of the molecule in two distinct models: breast cancer and melanoma.
Toxicity studies in mice revealed that the molecule did not affect blood cell count, liver or kidney function. Therefore, it is a promising candidate in cancer therapy.
We are looking for a collaboration partner to further develop this exciting project.
