Bromelain is also found in pineapple stems, which actually has more protein-digesting power than fruit.

菠萝蛋白也存在于菠萝茎中，它其实比果肉本身拥有蛋白质消化能力。

Scientists have observed that bromelain has a host of other potential uses too, including as a treatment for osteoarthritis, autoimmune diseases, viral infections, burns, and breast cancer.

科学家观察到，菠萝蛋白也有许其他潜在用途，包括作为骨关节炎、自身免病、病毒感染、烧伤和乳腺癌治疗方法。

Yeah, the majority of these studies have been done in rodents, so scientists recommend more clinical studies if we want to get serious about bromelain as a therapy.

这些研究大是在啮齿类动物中进行，因此科学家们建议，如果我们想认真地把菠萝蛋白作为一种疗法话，应该进行临床研究。
