Solution

L-glucose, a mirror isomer of D-glucose, is usually considered unusable by living organisms. However, in 2010, we discovered that malignant tumor cells specifically take up L-glucose (patented internationally). We have since worked with physicians and researchers to develop cancer-targeting drugs and diagnostics using L-glucose. Our goal is to bring a cure to patients with intractable cancers.
