Depending on useful they were, some would be allowed.
Bump.
Ah, but what kind of mice are they growing? Maybe that is the real story. Who knows what weird stuff they are doing these days. It’ll only get more bizarre in the future when gene manipulation kicks into high gear.
This is irresponsible reporting.
Killing cancer cells in mice is nothing new. Virtually every cancer drug or compound out there did well with testing in mice.
BUT, only a small fraction are able to get approved and pass the initial human trial tests of toxicity before reaching effective dose levels.
Many fail because the liver won’t process them properly.
This product is years away from completing just the Phase1 human trial, if it gets approved for human testing.
There is a drug currently in human trials at the Harvard Cancer complex (Dana Farber Hospital) that has a different MOA from the product hyped in the news releases.
It is Kevetrin, and it is very promising. Several other prominent cancer research hospitals have started or are soon to start additional trials using K with compounds already approved.
Do forget the fat lesbian studies Rooster.
Cheers!
Have one on me.
All pretty simple concepts and will probably be used together to double your doctor bills!
Just hope those macrophages don't carve holes in your gizzard though.
I’ll be the cynic and say this drug will never make it to human trials.
Way too much money is being made in the treatment of cancer to allow one drug to take down an entire industry. Ain’t gonna happen, which is a shame.
And under Obamacare, if youre above the age of 65 with cancer, they’ll refuse to give you this cure. Giving you a pain pill and a pamphlet on assisted suicide instead.
Many promising cancer therapies fail because the human testing is done on people who have already been compromised by chemo therapy. The chemo industry is powerful and doesn’t like any competition.
Yeah
The population control crowd isn’t going to like this.
RE: but I kept on reading and now I don’t have an image in my head of mice with female boobs in a lab somewhere.
It says in the article:
mice with human breast, ovary, colon, bladder, brain, liver and prostate TUMORS (my emphasis) transplanted into them.
They did not give the mice human breasts, they gave them HUMAN BREAST TUMORS.
That's taunting... ;-)
“Giving you a pain pill and a pamphlet on assisted suicide instead.”
Only the pamphlet is free ...
She said, let's pretend we're having a threesome.
Ouch.;-)
My thoughts exactly. Prolly about as much as the fed gubmint gets—”we dont wanna find a cure too soon, cuz then we’ll lose our jobs”.
It could have been by design.
And the standard treatment for cancer still isn’t that great. It is brute force — chemo and radiation and surgery. They may have perfected these treatments but the basic technology is decades old.
Something is not right here.
Our current govt will approve this treatment AFTER all the baby boomers are long dead. They have to find a way to sustain Social Security you know. Can’t be lettin those SS/Medicare hangers on live too long you see.
