Additional information

This paper tests a high-risk hypothesis that I developed by looking at a parasite’s biochemistry as an engineer. The test was particularly hard, involved the experimental activities of my own, and other international laboratories, but was successful! The success is the basis for differential systems-biology based drug design strategy. It suggests a number of new targets in the regulatory mechanisms that prevent the turbo explosion in many cancer cells. It has served as prime example for the new disciplines of systems pharmacology, systems toxicology and systems physiology at vision meetings of leading scientists
