'Trojan Horse' Approach Developed To Kill Brain Tumors From Within
A new method for targeting malignant brain tumors through inducing the 
cancerous cells to “commit suicide” has been developed by a team of 
researchers headed by a Hebrew University of Jerusalem professor of 
biochemistry.

Alexander Levitzki, who is the Wolfson Family Professor of Biochemistry, 
his research associate, Dr. Alexei Shir, and his colleagues from the 
Ludwig-Maximilians University of Munich, Germany, have pioneered a 
technique in which a molecule containing long, double-stranded RNA is 
attached to epidermal growth factor (EGF) and delivered selectively to 
cells with an abnormally high number of epidermal growth factor 
receptors (EGFR).
