The researchers observed the effect of the synthetically produced molecule, JK - 31,
on the growth and proliferation of a model human
breast cancer cell line and found that it effectively blocked the protein cyclin - dependent kinase 1 (CDK1), which plays a key part in the process of the division of
cancer cells, and therefore inhibited the proliferation of the
cells.

breast cancer cell lines, the sample set was too small, and testing additional
cell lines for their dependency
on MELK should further strengthen the authors conclusions.
Red foods like red bell peppers and tomatoes contain a phytochemical called lycopene, which may have an anti-inflammatory affect
on the
cells lining the heart and blood vessels, and may reduce the risk of developing prostate
cancer among other
cancers such as
