Very interesting indeed!

Thanks, xoc! From first glance at the first link, the answer seems to be that many cancer cells tend to have negative membrane charges, like bacteria and some viruses, but unlike healthy mammalian cells (which are neutral). So, our cationic hole puncher brilacidin can selectively kill negatively charged cancer cells (and bacteria and some viruses) while sparing healthy cells, potentially.
