Big fish
I'm not sure about yall, but I've been hearing a lot about a drug called Dichloroacetate, its basically partially chlorinated vinegar, but what it can do it regulate the way cells metabolize energy. Its been used for a while to treat a rare metabolic disorder in humans and is pretty safe. However, this drug has an unexpected side effect, It kills cancer, in petri dishes and rats that is... Hasn't been tested in humans yet. My thought is to test this with fish with cancer, to see if it can help, because A) its cheap and B) it would be cool. Now I know that black swordtails are aid to be at high risk of developing melanoma, so a bumpy and sick black swordtail would be a good place to start.
DCA aperently works by restricting the ability of cells to utilize the anaerobic process of glycolysis in order to metabolize sugars, since the mitochondria cannot keep up with the growth rate or energy needs the cancer cells theoretically go into apoptosis. So what do yall think?
