Original Message Australian funnel-web spiders are among the most deadly arachnids in the world, and researchers have now discovered they can even be used to kill certain cancer cells.

The compound, which also proved highly affected at treating Tasmanian devil facial tumour cells, could form the basis of new cancer treatments.

"We found the Australian funnel-web spider peptide was better at killing melanoma cancer cells and stopping them from spreading, and it also didn't have a toxic effect on healthy skin cells."
