A virus that infects humans without causing disease kills breast cancer cells in the laboratory. Researchers from
Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) College of Medicine in the US, tested an unaltered form of adeno-associated virus
type 2 (AAV2) on three different human breast cancer types representing different stages of cancer
and found it targeted all of
them. They hope by uncovering the pathways the virus uses to trigger
cancer cell death, their work will lead to new targets for
anti-cancer drugs. A paper on this work appeared recently in the
journal Molecular Cancer.
