“Doctors seeking treatments for malignant brain tumors have found promise in the venom of scorpions, according to a study released on Friday. The study showed that a synthetic version of a protein found in the venom of giant yellow Israeli scorpions targted tumor cells but did not harm the healthy cells of brain cancer patients. ‘We’re testing a new agent that has a lot of potential for patients who have had no meaningful treatments thus far,’ said Dr. Adam Mamelak, lead author on an article to appear in the August issue of the Journal of Clinical Oncology.” (07/30/06)
