Description
Two of the most aggressive and deadly forms of cancer may soon become the targets of powerful drugs that work in tandem with the body's own immune system. This program explores recent research in the development of biochemical weapons to fight brain and skin cancer. Visiting a German pharmaceutical company at the forefront of these advances, the film shows how TGF (transforming growth factor) beta proteins create a protective layer around brain tumors and how antisense agents are deployed to break through these malignant defenses. Microscopic time-lapse views illustrate the process. The use of humane animal cloning to produce bispecific antibodies for fighting skin cancer is also illustrated in detail. Numerous expert interviews are included.
