β-endorphin neuron transplantation: A possible novel therapy for cancer prevention

We summarize here our new discovery that the endogenous opioid peptide β-endorphin (BEP), by virtue of reducing body stress and maintaining active immune system, as well as, balancing the levels of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines, destroys tumor cells and stops them from being trans...
