Relevant: The Only Social Network Built On Trust

The Ecology community is intended to focus on: nature, environmentalism, ecology, conservation, climate, environmental justice, environmental policy, renewables, sustainability, solar punk, and the like. Posts that are off-topic are very likely to get downvoted. To get to know what a community is like, spend some time there and read and get a feel for the kinds of articles that are relevant to that community. Both “Relevant” and “Spam” will be good examples of what to post and what not to post. When in doubt, read don’t post. Posting will NOT earn you REL Coins and will only irritate active members if the post is irrelevant. As a rule of thumb, if you don’t know what will or will not be relevant, you should not be posting in that community. That said, you can still bet/stake on posts.

A new study out of Australia found that honeybee venom rapidly killed the cells for triple-negative breast cancer, a type of breast cancer that currently has few treatment options. "It provides another wonderful example of where compounds in nature can be used to treat human diseases," said Western Australia Chief Scientist Professor Peter Klinken in a Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research press release. The research, published in Nature Precision Oncology Tuesday, was led by Dr. Ciara Duffy of the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research and the University of Western Australia Honeybee Venom Kills Aggressive Breast Cancer Cells, Study Shows Honeybee venom has shown promise against an aggressive type of breast cancer.

Report Advertisement Report Advertisement As far back as 1950, bee venom was shown to kill tumors in plants. It has also been shown to work against other cancers like melanoma, BBC News explained. However, Duffy said in the press release that this was the first time honeybee venom had been tested against every type of breast cancer cell, as well as normal breast cells. Duffy and her team tested both the venom itself and a synthetic version of a compound in the venom called melittin. They found that both were effective against triple-negative breast cancer and HER2-enriched breast cancer cells. In fact, a certain concentration of honeybee venom could kill 100 percent of cancer cells without seriously impacting healthy ones. "The venom was extremely potent," Duffy said. Duffy explained to Australia's ABC News how the melittin worked. "What melittin does is it actually enters the surface, or the plasma membrane, and forms holes or pores and it just causes the cell to die," Duffy said.
