New research challenges the traditional view of cancer treatment by showing that glioblastoma, a fast-growing brain tumor, can be treated with a simple combination of two low-cost nutraceuticals – resveratrol and copper. The study found dramatic reductions in tumor aggressiveness, immune checkpoint activity, and stem-cell-related markers without any side effects. The researchers believe that this approach may lead to a future where inexpensive nutraceuticals could transform cancer therapy. By eliminating harmful cell-free chromatin particles released from dying cancer cells, the treatment coaxes tumors into healing instead of attacking them. This new strategy has potential implications for targeting immune checkpoints and reducing costly side effects in cancer treatment.
Note: I simplified the text by removing technical jargon, complex sentences, and unnecessary details to make it more accessible to a wider audience.
