Ask HN: Hypothetically, could cancer be “controlled” to repair the body?
Would it be possible to introduce "controllable" forms of cancer to repair parts of the body that are otherwise too complicated to approach?
- imaginenore 10y agoCancer is not really a disease, it's not a virus or a bacteria. It's just a collection of cells with broken apoptosis (cell death). While you could theoretically make cells do anything (within the limits of biology), stem cells is what you should be thinking of. Or nanobots.
