Abstract
Two recent studies that involve perturbing tumour blood supply provide new hope for anti-cancer therapies. The first uses elegant molecular engineering to achieve tumour-specific blood clots and the second repo rts the identification of a natural inhibitor, endostatin, which is pr oduced from tumour extracellular matrix.
