Implant Raises Cellular Army To Attack Cancer

holy_calamity writes "New Scientist reports on a sneaky new approach to getting the immune system to fight cancer. An implant releases a 'molecular perfume' irresistible to messenger immune cells, which enter the implant where they are given a sample of the cancer's 'scent' and a disperse signal that sends them scurrying to the nearest lymph node. There they convince other immune cells to start attacking anything that matches the sample they picked up."

I am more on the lines of a post cataclysm where everyone starts having dreams of some walking dude, and a old black woman in nebraska... the people gather to these this evil walking guy who can change into a crow, and the old black woman... ultimately God drops a nuclear weapon on the evil crow changling guy in Las vegas and the good people with the old black woman live happily ever after... or did then? As the crow changling evil guy was seen in the jungles! ::hides::
