lung cancer cells manipulate protective cells in our brains to facilitate metastasis.
The result was a highly selective drug they named SBI - 0206965, which successfully killed a number of cancer cell types, including human and
mouse lung cancer cells and human brain cancer cells, some of which were previously shown to be particularly reliant on cellular recycling.
