Pharmaceutical company Novogen Limited (ASX: NRT Nasdaq: NVGN) today announced that work performed in collaboration with a Yale University research team led by Associate Professor Gil Mor, MD, PhD, has revealed its novel mTOR inhibitor NV-128 has the potential to act against cancer stem cells in addition to rapidly proliferating cells in established solid tumours.
“Yale’s research team is finding that NV-128 has a high level of potency against cancer stem cells,” said Dr Gil Mor. “In fact, of the investigational therapies Yale has tried, NV-128 is one of the most exciting to us.”
