    Excerpts of the September 2015 study:

    “entirely new class of anti-cancer drugs.”

    “Brazilian wasp Polybia paulista”

    “suppress the growth of prostate and bladder cancer cells, as well as leukaemia cells resistant to a range of drugs.”

    ” makes holes in the protective membranes around tumour cells by interacting with lipids.”… “and creates large holes through which molecules vital to a cancer cell’s survival leak out.”….”critical molecules such as RNA and proteins to easily escape cells.”
