Chan's laboratory uses genomic analyses to identify neoantigens — novel peptides found only in tumors that arise from mutations
accumulated by cancerous cells.
He electrically induced and suppressed tumors in tadpoles, leading him to believe that people's cancers can eventually be reversed by repatterning the abnormal electrical signals
transmitted by cancerous cells.
Studies in animal models have shown that once the immune system responds to the foreign HLA gene, it can also begin to recognize other tumor - associated proteins that are produced
only by cancerous cells and attack those cells as well.
Lysine, also an essential amino acid, works to inhibit the invasion of healthy
tissue by cancerous cells, particularly when combined with Vitamin C. 2
