written by reader Brazillian Wasp Venom: Kills Cancer Cells

By jprovi218, November 21, 2016

Anyone have any new info about this aggressive cancel cell destroyer? The toxin is called MP1 (Polybia-MP1) It basically is one of the only solutions at the forefront that attacks/bursts cancer cells from the outside instead of from the inside out. The latest articles I can find has it still being researched at an university level. Sao Paulo State University Brazil (Joao Ruggiero) and University of Leeds London(Paul Beales)
I’d really like to know if any pharmaceutical companies are vested or at least funding the research on this therapy. I think this will be HUGE if they can control the peptide and get it to trial. Perhaps Dr. Kss could chime in and help this thread along……

Thanks, JP

I thought it was interesting but they are in the beginning stage, it also has a antibacterial affect with similar mechanism: ‘ In healthy cell membranes, the inner layer (facing the inside of the cell) is packed with phospholipids, including PS (phosphatidylserine) and PE (phosphatidylethanolamine). However, in cancer cells, PS and PE are located on the outer layer of the cell membrane, facing the opposite way.’ This is the site of attack and creates a hole in the membrane suddenly.
I was in the amazon jungle and came upon a wasp and tarantula in a life and death struggle, I have never seen a wasp so big. It was the size of the palm of my hand, and I can palm a basketball! Apparently no the same species, but who knows what secrets lie in the jungle.
