Scientists at the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research in Australia discovered that Melittin, the active compound in bee venom, can destroy aggressive breast cancer cell membranes within just an hour in lab studies. Importantly, the venom showed selectivity, targeting cancer cells while leaving most healthy cells unharmed.Even more promising, researchers found that Melittin suppressed key cancer-driving signals such as EGFR and HER2 within 20 minutes. When paired with chemotherapy drugs like docetaxel in mice, it significantly boosted tumor reduction. While these results highlight a potential breakthrough in targeted cancer therapy, they remain in the preclinical phase, meaning extensive trials are still needed before this approach can be tested safely in humans.#CancerResearch #BeeVenom #MedicalBreakthrough #BreastCancer #Melittin More details/images: https://engineerine.com/bee-venom-against-breast-cancer/
