Why isn't this more talked about? Seriously
So anyone heard? Some biochemist (by the name of Zheng Cui) stumbled across something funky: while injecting a strain of cancer cells "so aggressive it caused a 100% death rate" to some poor lab mice, he noticed that some weren't dying. Screw up right? Re-inject!
However, those same mice still weren't dying. Hmmm... no prob, just up the dosage so that it's super lethal! BAM!
...still alive?
According to the article "When the animals' immune systems identify a cancer cell, a genetic tweak allows their bodies to launch a massive attack of white blood cells that kills the budding tumor"
They also found out that when they injected white blood cells from any of the anticancer mice into any other mouse, the new mouse becomes resistant also; either fighting it off over time or just flat out immune.
And even better! There are people with cancer immunity too. Holy shits Batman!
