.@UIUC_Biochem researchers at @Illinois_Alma are studying ErSO, a compound that "has the potential to be a breakthrough" in the fight against breast cancer. Thank you to @lindseytheis & @Newsy for sharing their research as MCB honors Breast Cancer Awareness Month. @CancerCenterIL

"You can watch that go from from this large tumor. And then you can't find anything after that," one researcher said. "That gives us a lot of confidence that that ErSO has had a really powerful effect in those tumors."
