Description
How are scientists turning Zika virus into a weapon against brain cancer? Will they be able to cure brain cancer with what they have learned from the zika virus? How far away is this cure? Let’s find out today, in this episode of The Infographics Show: Scientists Are Turning Zika Virus Into a Weapon Against Brain Cancer.
What if we were to find a cure for brain cancer? And what if that cure were to be found in a common mosquito-carried virus? Well, it looks like that might just have happened. A team of researchers from the Texas Medical Branch have made a breakthrough discovery and reckon they may have found the perfect weapon in the brain-cancer-killing arsenal. University of Texas Medical Branch led by geneticist Pei-Yong Shi successfully killed off a bunch of stem cells that allow brain tumors to stay alive and healthy in mice. So in theory, if this research is continued the team may develop a remedy to fight aggressive forms of brain cancer in humans.
What are the zika virus symptoms? Is Zika virus similar to dengue fever?
