Article is written in 2018 about research publicized more than three years ago (https://www.google.com/search?q=Polybia+paulista+mp1&tbm=nws https://www.google.com/search?q=Polybia+paulista+mp1&tbm=nws). On top of that, this article is entirely unsourced. --- Here's a more recent bit of research around why MP1 might not kill blood cells: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/5437523_Selectivity_in_the_mechanism_of_action_of_antimicrobial_mastoparan_peptide_Polybia-MP1 https://www.researchgate.net/publication/5437523_Selectivity... A BBC write-up about the oncolytic findings in the Cell publication: https://www.bbc.com/news/health-34115112 https://www.bbc.com/news/health-34115112 And the original Cell publication documenting the observed relationship between the MP1 peptide and the cell membrane itself: https://www.cell.com/biophysj/fulltext/S0006-3495(15)00768-7 https://www.cell.com/biophysj/fulltext/S0006-3495(15)00768-7 --- dang, if I can suggest swapping out articles, I'd vouch for either the BBC write-up or the Cell publication above, both published in 2015
