Camouflaged Adenovirus Rebuilt to Recognize and Infect Tumor Cells
Until now the use of adenoviruses in tumor therapy has been very limited. They lack the ability to infect cancer cells and therefore cannot inject the genetic blueprints for the therapeutic molecules to fight the disease. Researchers have now succeeded in rebuilding the viruses so that they effectively recognize and infect tumor cells.
