The main
problem with new drugs is making sure that the healthy cells manage to stay
healthy. The many challenges presented by this particular problem require
research and as stated “Discovering new targets for cancer therapeutics is a
long and tedious undertaking, and identifying and developing a potential drug
to specifically hit that target without harming healthy cells is a daunting
task.”
The work has
paid off because as they stated “They discovered a particular antibody 4C3,
that was able to almost completely stop the proliferation of the breast cancer
cells. They then identified the molecule on the cancer cells that the antibody
targets.” It’s not yet known how truly effective 4C3 will be but the hope is
that it will be a big factor in the current battle against breast cancer.
