Years ago, Cantor found that osteopontin that was secreted by immune cells travels to infected areas. Once there, osteopontin attracts white blood cells which ingest harmful bacteria and viruses...
Scientists had already discovered that cancer cells produce mass quantities of osteopontin, but they were mystified as to its function, Cantor says...
