The breast cancer that we have been fighting for along time, now we are using the chemotherapy but it is not work very well, by other words it is not cure all patients, but scientists didn't stop in this step, they worked and they tried until they found something was not expected!! Honeybees venom.
It will be amazing if honeybee could provide us with more than just honey, well, in study published in the journal NATURE PRECISION ONCOLOGY they found out that specific component in Bees venom can kill aggressive breast cancer.
The Bees were put to sleep with carbon dioxide and kept on ice before the venom brab was pulled out from abdomen of Bees, the venom is extracted by careful dissection.
The chemotherapy is damaging the healthy cells when doing their intended job, but this component had a very little effect on the healthy cells.
The melittin compound :
The melittin is the compound that the scientists have discovered, it is pretty effective, after testing it in clinical subtypes of breast cancer, it took 60 minutes for melittin compound to disrupt the membranes of the cancer cells.
The melittin compound is not harmful like chemotherapy, it is actually used for treating several central nervous system diseases, inflammation, and another benefits.
And imaging if we somehow combined the melittin compound with already existed chemotherapy how the fast of killing will be!!
