The research has been published in Cancer Letters. Yes, it is PEER-REVIEWED. • www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Key Takeaways:

•RK-33 targets DDX3, an RNA helicase elevated in cancer cells, to inhibit breast cancer bone metastasis.

•In mouse models, RK-33 eliminated bone metastases and prevented further cancer spread without significant adverse effects.

•The study suggests RK-33 as a promising treatment for breast cancer bone metastasis, urging further research into its broader applications.
