A genetic modification has been found that protects mice in opposition to most cancers and makes them stay as much as 20 p.c longer. The invention is especially promising as a result of the advantages might be transferred to peculiar mice with a single blood stem cell transplant.
“It was a giant shock,” he says. Che Kun James Shen at Taipei Medical College in Taiwan. “We have not discovered any antagonistic unwanted side effects up to now.”
Shen says his staff is already collaborating…
