Trojan-horse therapy 'completely eliminates' cancer in mice

An experimental "Trojan-horse" cancer therapy has completely eliminated prostate cancer in experiments on mice, according to UK researchers.

The team hid cancer killing viruses inside the immune system in order to sneak them into a tumour.

Once inside, a study in the journal Cancer Research showed, tens of thousands of viruses were released to kill the cancerous cells.

Experts labelled the study "exciting," but human tests are still needed.

Using viruses to destroy rapidly growing tumours is an emerging field in cancer therapy, however one of the challenges is getting the viruses deep inside the tumour where they can do the damage.

"The problem is penetration," Prof Claire Lewis from the University of Sheffield told the BBC


Thats quite clever.

Imagine how overpopulated this world will be when we are able to cure everything.

Driven by success.
Follow me if you wish:@JamilDeanTriaa

I prefer the method of fapping, which decreases your chances of getting prostate cancer.


Edit: Still an interesting read.

Not exactly a computer virus, but that was an interesting read nonetheless.

"I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle- victorious"

Very interesting.
This obviously demonstrates how advanced technology has become. Imagine the future....

That is a problem I never have.

My thoughts exactly. Holocausts will be rife no doubt.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

Isn't this how I Am Legend began?

So Says Shadroxon.

And that was a computer virus how?

Whatever, it's still fascinating.

Oh boy, this -blam!- again...

We're not over populated. We're mismanaging resources and not using technology that we have for abundant energy. We could solve 90% of the world's problems tomorrow if we tried.

If I ever get AIDS, I'm going to sleep with another AIDS person so my AIDS cancel each other out, or I'm going to make the AIDS I already have worse.
