L-Tryptophan Depletion Using a New Bioreactor: A Possible New Cancer Therapy
Abstract:Not all cancer therapeutic strategies known to date are adequate for all cancer patients. Most of them are followed by a high rate of severe side effects and complications. L-Tryptophan metabolism plays a key role in organism development, as well as in the occurrence and development of tumors. By degrading certain amino acids, tumor growth can be limited while maintaining the body´s normal nutritional requirements. The L-tryptophan depletion bioreactor is described as a possible new method of cancer therapy. L… Show more
