The irony is beautiful

Seeing as HIV does invade DNA to make more of itself(part of the perks of being a retrovirus) the choice now seems quite obvious for cancer.
Not that I would want to be part of the clinical trials for this one!

Is this science imitating homeopathy(broadly speaking)?

That is very cool. Thanks for posting it.

The thought of using a virus that mutates so readily for this purpose is frightening to me.
