An omega-3 that's poison for tumors

(Université catholique de Louvain) 3D tumors that disintegrate within a few days thanks to the action of a well-known omega-3 (DHA, found mainly in fish) -- this is the exceptional discovery by University of Louvain researchers.Hungry for fatty acids, tumor cells in acidosis gorge themselves on DHA but are unable to store it correctly and literally poison themselves. The result? They die.
