Could that not be done by RNA interference where you knock out the gene that codes for LOX, so it will not be transscribed and thus decreasing the level of this malicious enzyme?? Is this enzyme critical for some of the biological processes happening in normal cells, or do they not know enough about that yet?? Seems very promising this... now i might not quit smoking afterall anyways, HAHA :P Ok, so they need now to find a way to knock out the LOX-enzyme if i’m understanding it right.

Scientists now need to do further experiments to develop drugs or other therapies to exploit LOX for treating cancer.

Does the findings apply to any kind of cancer? How long it would take to have an inhibitor? Thanks The results are very impressive!! i have some questions.

Finally, looks like we're nearly there, hip hip hooray, hooray, hooray. We will carry on in our humble way to contibute, its not the end yet, so you'll see the colour of my money to carry this on.

Is it known how LOX is formed in the body? Is it abundant in some foods and if so which? Good luck with your research. Great news!!! Is it known how LOX is formed in the body?
