A new possible therapeutic target for the treatment of lymphoma has been successfully tested in animal experiments at the University of Illinois. At low doses, a new drug called D-PAC-1 was shown to be able to stop tumor growth in three of the six dogs used in the study and induced partial remission of the disease in fourth.

The new compound does indeed sull'enzima procaspase-3, which when activated triggers ...
