Researchers at are uncovering new possibilities for cancer therapies through the power of plants.🌱🔬

The team led by Dr. Paul Spagnuolo in ’s Department of Food Science has identified a weakness in acute myeloid leukemia cells and developed a compound derived from jojoba, a plant commonly used in skincare products, that may be able to target it.

Spagnuolo’s team is the first to create a compound that blocks the fat-to-fuel process cancer cells depend on for survival, representing a promising direction for future drug development.

New research is uncovering how the bacterium that causes tuberculosis survives inside the human body. By identifying a key part of its stress-response system, researchers have revealed a potential target for future treatments against one of the world's deadliest infectious diseases.

The study provides new insight into how the bacterium clears damaged proteins and withstands attack from the immune system. The findings could support efforts to develop new treatments as antibiotic resistance continues to make tuberculosis more difficult to treat.
