Specifically, this peptide seemed to suppress the growth of two types of cancer cells in experimental settings: SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells, which are a model for studying nerve cell behavior and pathology, and U937 histiocytic lymphoma cells, which are used to study the immune system's response to cancer
