Reovirus can trick the body's defenses to reach and kill cancer cells

Scientists have shown how a promising viral therapy that delivers a double blow to cancer can sneak up on tumors undetected by hitching a ride on blood cells. 

Dr Julie Sharp, senior science information manager at Cancer Research UK, which part-funded the research, said: "This promising study shows that reovirus can trick the body's defenses to reach and kill cancer cells and suggests that it could be given to patients using a simple injection. We look forward to seeing how this research develops and if this could one day become part of standard cancer treatment."

Issho Genki Squalene — Issho Genki Squalene: The World's Best Squalene

Issho Genki Squalene — Issho Genki Squalene: The World's Best Squalene | Collection of First in the World Wide Web | Scoop.it

The bodies of humans have squalene, which is a primary ingredient in many products for skin care. It is 10% sebum, a kind of lubricant present on the sebaceous gland of the body, functioning mainly to protect skin and keep it as elastic and supple as possible. However, as a person ages, there is a decrease in the production of squalene, which leads to dryness, wrinkles, fine lines, and a significant lack of elasticity. For this reason, it is important to increase on one’s intake of squalene as a supplement for what is lacking. Squalene is found also in animals and plants. It is also present on shark liver oil. Discovered by Dr. Tsujimoto, a chemist from Japan in 1906, squalene has been used by Japanese fishermen because of its healing and health benefits as well. Soon, more studies made by scientists in the 30s showed the immunity of sharks from certain diseases like cancer, providing answers as to how squalene could provide so many benefits.
