Yes, the content seems to be true and authentic, as reported by several sources.
These, include:
1. **Pectin triggers self-destruction of prostate cancer cells** - Life Extension (Trust Score 8/10)
- A study by Debra Mohnen and her associates at the University of Georgia and the VA Medical Center in Augusta found that pectin induces programmed cell death (apoptosis) in prostate cancer cells, including androgen-independent cells that cannot be combated with hormone therapy[1].
2. **Prostate cancer cells tricked into self-destruction because of their hunger for copper** - Pharmaceutical Journal (Trust Score 7/10)
- Researchers have found a way to use prostate cancer cells' voracious appetite for copper as a weapon to kill them. The study used a copper-activated drug, disulfiram, to selectively destroy diseased cells while leaving non-cancer cells intact[2].
3. **Drug Makes Prostate Cancer Cells Self-Destruct** - Technology Networks (Trust Score 8/10)
- UC San Francisco researchers discovered that blocking a cellular stress response with an experimental drug, ISRIB, causes treatment-resistant cancer cells to self-destruct while leaving normal cells unaffected. This approach targets aggressive prostate cancers that depend on high protein synthesis[3].
