ROCHESTER, MN, United States (UPI) -- U.S. scientists have determined chaetocin, a by-product of a common wood mold, holds promise as a new anti-myeloma agent.

Mayo Clinic researchers demonstrated the by-product is more effective than currently used therapies at killing multiple myeloma cells.

'There were a number of fascinating findings,' said Dr. Keith Bible, a Mayo Clinic oncologist and the study`s lead investigator. 'In addition to observing many favorable aspects of chaetocin, we discovered some avenues for further research into other possible anti-myeloma agents.'

Multiple myeloma is an incurable bone marrow cancer that kills more than 11,000 people each year in the United States.

The research is detailed online in the journal Blood.

It's cool that environmental organisms contain so many defense/survival mechanisms...fungus gives us a lot of stuff...antibiotics and psychodelic illusions most prominent...

I've often wondered if very very tiny people could be living on these germs.

Actually I wondered it more about protons, neutrons, and electrons, but germs also concern me.

You philosophical SOB. Hell, you may be a god to those people living on those atoms. My guess is that you're a god of vengeance.
