I feel a lot of negativity on the comments. Of course these types of news need to be taken with a grain of salt, but I doesn't take the merit of the research away. Also, it clearly states that it's in a lab environment and with mice.
These types of news help inspire people to join research/academy and it's the type of things that is always welcome. These findings were probably published somewhere in the academia, but general population doesn't see it.
When you say that dynamite also kills cancer cells, I doubt you're ever going to choose dynamite as a cancer treatment in place of other treatments that obviously underwent the same lengthy process of scientific research as this study is beginning it's journey.
We need to keep being realistic, as we might never discover a silver bullet for cancer, but it doesn't take any merit away from this research.
- klyrs 6y agoIt's sad to see the lack of intellectual curiosity throughout the comments here. Some folks are bashing their strawman interpretations of the headline, others are complaining about scientists using precise language, while others frame scientists as money-grubbing. I guess this is what programmers do to make themselves feel better. I've lost 6 family members to cancer, and have two cancer survivors in my family. The survivors are still around because they were young when they got sick, and because there were many possible treatments. Hopefully, this will end up in the arsenal of potential treatments to fight cancer.
