Malaria protein could be an effective weapon against cancer

Odd, I posted this exact link yesterday[1]. I always thought there was link normalisation on HN?<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10390791" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10390791</a>

The full text of the study is paywalled here: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cell.com&#x2F;cancer-cell&#x2F;abstract&#x2F;S1535-6108%2815%2900334-7" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cell.com&#x2F;cancer-cell&#x2F;abstract&#x2F;S1535-6108%2815%290...</a><p>Fortunately the summary there has some useful information: &quot;rVAR2 (recombinant malarial protein VAR2CSA) fused to <i>diphtheria toxin or conjugated to hemiasterlin compounds</i> strongly inhibits in vivo tumor cell growth and metastasis&quot;<p>Anyone know how they&#x27;re attaching those toxins&#x2F;compounds to the malarial protein?
