Herpes Shows Promise for Killing Cancer

A genetically engineered herpes virus, designed to kill cancer cells but leave normal tissue unharmed, has shown early promise in clinical tests, scientists said on Saturday.

The idea of injecting cancer patients with a live virus may seem bizarre, but researchers believe viruses — which are experts at killing cells — could one day become a valuable addition to the medical armory against cancer.

The latest progress in a small study using MediGene AG’s virus NV1020 was presented at the annual European Society for Medical Oncology conference in Lugano, Switzerland.

1. Wow. That's mean.

Somehow, a potentially miraculous scientific developement has to be turned into an attack on a celebrity. I'm so impressed.

4. People without a sense of humor...

shouldn't come to the Lounge. I realize that we are supposed to be pissed off about some sort of slight or injustice every waking minute of the day, but some of us just like to have a little fun once in a while.

5. There's humor, and then there's not...

I guess I don't have the same sense of humor. I don't think that hurling random attacks at people is funny. :shrug:

I'm familiar with the the lounge though, thank you. I've been here for quite a while.

6. but the attack wasn't random. herpes meds were found in her storage garage.

when she didn't pay her bill on her storage, the contents were sold and the person who purchased it took pics of everything and turned into a website.

9. I know you're been here for a while...

hence, the reply I directed to you. Again, if you're going to hang out in the Lounge, a sense of humor is a plus. For righteous indignation, there are several other forums. B-)

10. I'll take that under advisement.

If I need an expert on requirements for membership in the lounge I'll be sure to come to you, okay? :P

12. The lounge is usually the Nice forum though.

This isn't usually the forum for gratuitous meanness.
