Common Cold A Cure For Brain Tumors?

JackMonkey writes "According to this article at CNN, scientists have genetically engineered a cold virus to kill inoperable brain tumors in mice. 'The effects were so stunning that the National Cancer Institute and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration are rushing to test the approach in people with brain tumors. If it works, it will be the first treatment for malignant glioma, the deadliest form of brain cancer. '"

Tubers

I have one question. How did these mice get tubers in their brains? I know my mom used to tell me that my ears were so dirty, I could grow potatoes in there, but I did not think it would really work... I guess I did not realize it was such a problem.

if it makes you feel any better, your dad would still be dead.

just because they showed this to work on a few mice today doesn't mean that it will work at all in humans and even if it does, it will take years before it is ever actually available to us.

as for hate, feel free to feel it - but I have no clue at all as to where you would point the hate

there is no cure yet - unless your father was a mouse, and even then, it hasn't shown to cure anything yet.
It just shows that over the time period examined, with the mice that were used, they saw the results that they saw.

hardly conclusive in terms of a cure.
