Have We Finally Found The Cure To Cancer?

Dr Michael Diamond, a researcher, gave the following statements pertaining to the potential upsides of the Zika virus:

“It looks like there’s a silver lining to Zika. This virus that targets cells that are very important for brain growth in babies, we could use that now to target growing tumours.”

Going Forward

In light of the aforementioned developments, other institutions are adopting this practice. According to University of Cambridge scientists:

“This promising research shows that a modified version of the Zika virus can attack brain tumour cells in the lab. This could one day lead to new treatments for this particularly hard to treat type of cancer.”

The test of the Zika virus on humans will launch within a year and a half. More updates will follow this story as new developments arise.
