Bumblebees vs. honeybees
At first, 312 bumblebees and honeybees' venom were compared to see if they had a similar impact. However, bumblebees failed the mission. "The bees were put to sleep with carbon dioxide and kept on ice before the venom barb was pulled out from the abdomen of the bee and the venom extracted by careful dissection," active compound existing in honeybee venom has reportedly killed the resistant cancer cells. Usually, intense cancer treatments end up damaging the healthy cells while doing their intended job. This component had a very little harming effect on healthy cells.
"We found that melittin can be used with small molecules or chemotherapies, such as docetaxel, to treat highly-aggressive types of breast cancer. The combination of melittin and docetaxel was extremely efficient in reducing tumor growth in mice," she explained. As expected, the progress is at the bottom of the ladder. Further investigation is needed on how to deliver the component to the human body in a suitable dose and to check for possible
