This sounds like another really promising finding!

Yes, this sounds very encouraging. We are overdue for some serious scientific breakthroughs.

Theoretically, if this protein therapy can be scaled up and used successfully in animal trials, how many years or decades before human clinical trials begin?

Still wonderful news.......

"Next steps

Years of work lie ahead to determine whether this protein therapy can be approved to treat cancer in humans. Bioprocess engineers must first scale up production of the Axl decoy to generate pure material for clinical tests. Clinical researchers must then perform additional animal tests in order to win approval for and to conduct human trials. These are expensive and time-consuming steps."
