Virus Tamed To Destroy Cancer Cells But Leave Healthy Cells Unharmed

ScienceDaily reports Virus Tamed To Destroy Cancer Cells But Leave Healthy Cells Unharmed:

Scientists at Oxford University have tamed a virus so that it attacks and destroys cancer cells but does not harm healthy cells.  They determined how to produce replication-competent viruses with key toxicities removed, providing a new platform for development of improved cancer treatments and better vaccines for a broad range of viral diseases.

Excellent!

Modified naturally-occurring viruses have already had important uses in medicine including their use as vaccines, notably for measles, mumps, polio, influenza, and chicken pox. They have already been developed as potential cancer-killing therapies, in an approach called virotherapy.
