Researchers have identified new molecules that kill cancer cells while protecting healthy cells and that could be used to treat a variety of different cancers. The research shines a light on what happens to cells at the moment they become cancerous.

The research and pre-clinical trial results were published this month as an open-access article in EBioMedicine, a new joint research-clinical journal from the editors of Cell and The Lancet.
