Scientists are perfecting a new anti-cancer treatment that exploits the body’s own cellular waste disposal system. Some drugs are already producing promising results, and the number of new medicines is expected to rise in the near future with the opening of a British centre dedicated to using the technique.
Fifteen researchers will work at the Centre for Protein Degradation which has been set up through a £9m donation to the Institute of Cancer Research, in London, by philanthropists David and Ruth Hill.
