recombinant TRAIL

Recombinant TRAIL (Tumor Necrosis Factor-Related Apoptosis-Inducing Ligand) is a lab-made protein designed to target and destroy cancer cells. It mimics a natural molecule in the body that signals cancer cells to undergo programmed cell death, or apoptosis, without harming normal cells. Scientists produce recombinant TRAIL using genetic engineering techniques in a laboratory setting, enabling it to be used as a potential cancer therapy. By selectively inducing death in tumor cells, recombinant TRAIL offers a promising approach to cancer treatment with potentially fewer side effects compared to traditional therapies.
