Injections of two such proteins--angiostatin and endostatin--into mice with cancerous tumors eventually hampered the growth of the tumors. The proteins caused the tumors to shrink, and eventually, to stop growing back...
...Reilly discovered two proteins--endostatin and a similar, previously identified protein called angiostatin--in his efforts to test Folkman's hypothesis...
...Reilly explained that endostatin and angiostatin--a similar protein still being studied as well--both are part of larger complexes in the body...
