Diseased Brain Cells Selectively Targeted By Tumor-Killing Virus

Diseased Brain Cells Selectively Targeted By Tumor-Killing Virus - New findings show that a specialized virus with the ability to reproduce its tumor-killing genes can selectively target tumors in the brains of mice and eliminate them. Healthy brain tissue remained virtually untouched, according to a Feb. 20 report in The Journal of Neuroscience. With more research, the technique could one day offer a novel way of treating brain cancer in humans. [Latest Cancer / Oncology News From Medical News Today.]
