Cure for Cancer, Herpes
NYU School of Medicine researchers report in a new study that they have isolated a new version of a herpesvirus that kills cancer cells but spares normal tissue.

In animal studies, the new version dramatically reduced the size of human prostate cancer tumors grown in mice. Moreover, it completely eradicated the tumor mass in some of the animals, and it appears not to harm normal tissue.“We took a crippled virus and essentially made it into a more effective killer of cancer cells,” says Ian Mohr, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Microbiology at NYU School of Medicine, who led the research and is an author of the study. “But we’ve only demonstrated this in mice. Clearly the next step is to see whether this more potent anti-tumor virus works in other animal models.”

Pillars of creation toppled by something
The Pillars of Creation, a gaseous /dusty area which resemble pillars:
are considered the birthplace of planets as many young planets can be seen inside them using IR:
The above pictures were taken in 1995.
In a dramatic turn of events, some huge force has blown the pillars to bits, around 6000 years ago. People are arguing if it’s a supernova or superheated stellar winds which have done this, but it’s strange to see such an imposing structure in the universe being wasted in 10 years time. This is what’s left of them:
