Now, scientists at the University of Su… Continue reading “Forgetful” mutations may help bacteria evade antibiotics
An early-stage study has found a strain of the common cold virus can effectively target and destroy bladder cancer cells. This phase 1 human trial suggests the virus directly induces tumor cell death, and if verified by larger trials could be… Continue reading Common cold virus targets, and kills, bladder cancer in exciting early human trial
