Two precious creatures
This is
another take on the research, out of Rice University, that had me so excited a
few weeks ago. There is little new here,
but it is pleasing to read this good news again. To capsulize:
It seems to be possible to implant miniscule globules of something that
spews out doses of a potent cancer-killer, Il-2. This not only offs the tumor, it teaches the
immune system what to look for (and kill), thereby fighting metastases as
well. This procedure worked perfectly in
mice. I presume studies involving humans
are in the offing.
I must not
let my hopes climb too high; there are many possible slips lurking out
there. But, Geez!
