lol wtf sorta weird shit is this here?
While the Zika virus is known to cause birth defects and abnormalities in unborn children, researchers now believe it could be used as an effective way to kill off cancer cells in the brain. Focusing specifically on glioblastoma, the most common form of brain cancer, researchers at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and the University of California, San Diego, tested strains of the Zika virus on the tumor cells.
“We hypothesized that the preference of Zika virus for neural precursor cells could be leveraged against glioblastoma stem cells,” said study co-director, Michael Diamond, according to a news release.
Most patients with glioblastoma die within two years of diagnosis, with treatment typically involving surgery followed by several aggressive approaches. The aim of treatment is to target glioblastoma stem cells to prevent the tumor from growing back, but not all are responsive to chemotherapy and radiation.
“It is so frustrating to treat a patient as aggressively as we know how, only to see his or her tumor recur a few months later,” said Milan Chheda, of the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, according to the news release. “We wondered whether nature could provide a weapon to target the cells most likely responsibly for this return.”
It makes the brain so small the cancer can’t find it!
No I mean, I get that hydrocephalus is a birth defect caused in babies of people with the disease. I understand that concept.
But how weird that they are now just finding out that it also cures brain cancer?
I mean – that is a super-weird thing.
