Scientists at Queen's University have made a very astounding discovery in a place least expected, the Waxy Monkey Frog. They have located two proteins on this frog's skin thst have the potential to treat many diseases such as cancer, diabetes and stroke. These proteins, or peptides, can be targetted in the body to control angiogenesis, which means that it can either control or inhibit bloo. Why does that help? Well, in most cases, cancer tumors need to enough energy and nutrients to be able to grow and spread to the rest of the host's body. This has the potential to stop the tumor growth and possibly kill it.
Opinion
This is a very interesting discovery. The best thing is that, when the proteins are extracted, the animals aren't hurt at all! This protein has so much potential, it has the ability to cure over seventy of today's diseases. This will open so many doors, in biological research. Hopefully, people will start looking for more ways to find cures of today's diseases more and more, since man-made antibiotics, and shots are basically useless to it. I hope that soon they will find a cure.
