By Richard Alleyne, Science Correspondent
In laboratory experiments, commercially-available grapeseed extract forced the cancer cells to “commit suicide”, found the researchers.
Within 24 hours, 76 per cent of leukaemia cells exposed to the extract died through a process of natural self-destruction called apoptosis. Healthy cells remained unharmed.
The researchers believe the discovery could open the door to promising new treatments for the disease which affects more than 24,000 adults and children a year. Read More…
