Antarctic sea squirt toxins could treat melanoma, University of South Florida finds
Researchers from the University of South Florida (USF) returned from a six-week Antarctic expedition carrying samples of ascidians — sea squirts that thrive in icy waters. Their studies suggest that bacterial toxins produced by these invertebrates could be an effective treatment for melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. The findings support the potential therapeutic use of these compounds.
