Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin have made a development in the fight against cancer. They have created a compound that targets cancer cells in a unique way. The compound takes advantage of cancer cells' high demand for sugar, using this to attack the cells.
At the same time, it also disrupts the cells' backup fuel supply. Further details about this experimental drug and its potential impact are available from UT Austin News.
