Genetically modified virus to shrivel/shrink Incurable Cancers.

The subject virus is named —vesicular stomatitis virus commonly called VSV, it can infect cattle, but it rarely causes serious infections in humans. It has been found to degrade the tumor cells when injected into the tumor. The virus is engineered to grow in cancer cells, destroy these tumors, and then spread to other cancer… Continue reading Genetically modified virus to shrivel/shrink Incurable Cancers.
