Conventional wisdom has long been that there are many types of cancers, and that we won’t come up with a single “cure for cancer”–that there will be many different treatments for different problems. But some researchers think that they may have in fact found a low-cost drug that cures many types of cancer, with few side effects.
This seems like pretty big news.

Manufactured from stem cells. Some of the commenters are skeptical, though.

I’d think that Cisco must be considering an acquisition.
Moonbats (and non-moonbats) often accuse me of being a “right-winger” and a “conservative.” I guess that’s because I don’t think that George Bush is Hitler reincarnated, and that removing dictators who support terrorism is a good thing. But if anyone really wants to know why I’m not a conservative, Will Saletan has an interesting example. So-called liberals are afraid of cloned animals and cloned food. Conservatives seem to look askance at cloned humans. I’ve got no problem with either.

…if it really works:
Associate Professor Michael King of the University of Rochester Biomedical Engineering Department has invented a de-vice that filters the blood for cancer and stem cells. When he captures cancer cells, he kills them. When he captures stem cells, he harvests them for later use in tissue engineering, bone marrow transplants, and other applications that treat human disease and improve health.
It’s not clear from the article how close it is to actual use on humans.
