A Virus Could Treat Brain Tumours By Boosting The Immune System

Scientists have found that a naturally occurring virus could be used to treat people with aggressive brain tumours by drastically boosting the immune system.The study, which has been published in Science Translational Medicine, found that reovirus was able to cross the blood-brain barrier where it would then replicate and kill the cancerous cells.Up to now, scientists believed it would be impossible for a virus to cross through the blood-brain barrier, making it significantly more diff
