This lumpy sea cucumber may look like human feces, but it could hold the key to fighting cancer.

Scientists at the University of the Philippines discovered a particular species has compounds in its body that have been shown to kill human liver cancer cells in the lab.

These chemicals may also trigger the growth of neurites, the tiny projections from neurons that help people recover from traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries.

Before these compounds can be transformed into treatments for people, scientists will need to extract them from sea cucumbers and test them on a series of subjects: cells in a dish, lab animals, and extracted human cancer tissues.
