âVirus as medicine: Genetically engineered virus can cure cancer, scientist learn. Get short URL. A new study by UK scientists reveals that a genetically created herpes-based virus is an effective remedy against skin cancer.This virotherapy raises life expectancy for patients with aggressive melanoma and has fewer side effects than other treatments.fter destroying the cancer cell, the virus gets into surrounding area and triggers a secondary immune reaction against the tumor. Dr Hayley Frend, science information manager at Cancer Research UK, commented: âUsing a virus to both kill cancer cells and nudge the immune system into attacking them is exciting.
Viruses engineered to attack themselves. Back to Gallery. Leor Weinberger calls it hijacking the hijacker. In his lab at the Gladstone Institutes, he's developed a technique for harnessing stray bits of HIV-a virus that infects and ultimately kills immune cells-and using them to attack the virus itself.ifferent viruses infect different types of cells. HIV, for example, infects immune cells, while cold and flu viruses infect cells in the respiratory tract. But one thing viruses have in common is their ability to insert their own genetic material into the DNA of the host cell, altering its function.
