It's a very clever yet legitimate thought that we could take advantage of another organisms "cancer defense system" and make it our own. However we don't yet know how the human body might react to this at it is quite foreign. If in vitro experiments prove effective I think this has a good chance to be the answer. Very neat!Dan Gumpperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09812080813740846280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3360356351594869925.post-56956241928448594142019-08-05T11:47:28.615-04:002019-08-05T11:47:28.615-04:00This post made me think of a graphic that said fru...This post made me think of a graphic that said fruit flies weren't important! In doing experiments like this, we can really learn so much about the future of science. Hopefully breaking discoveries like this can be translated into beneficial means for humans to combat cancer. Defensin seems like it is the wave, hopefully we can hop on!Joe Treenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05713407580142316716noreply@blogger.com
