Me looking at a list of known neurotoxins: I wonder what this one does?
The lead section of chlorotoxin: Chlorotoxin is a 36-amino acid peptide found in the venom of the deathstalker scorpion (Leiurus quinquestriatus) which blocks small-conductance chloride channels. The fact that chlorotoxin binds preferentially to glioma cells has allowed the development of methods for the treatment and diagnosis of several types of cancer. (Emphasis mine)
Me: oh my god Jabber could cure cancer
Me two seconds later: if Jabber cures cancer there are probably minimum a dozen people who will kill themselves on the spot
#obviously zanka is one of them but i actually think dr stilza would also spontaneously combust#also. i wanna be clear. jabber could not actually just stick anyone with cancer with a random chemo drug and then cure them#but the fact that with a staggering amount of equipment and investment and study he theoretically could cure someone's cancer?#that's fucking crazy#jabber wonger#chlorotoxin#gachiakuta
