AAV2 virus research
I just read this article and am curious if anyone else here saw this or if there's any buzz about it?

Re: AAV2 virus research
The article you have posted 3 twins is from 2011..but seems that it was in the news with encouraging result in 2005 already..
http://www.news-medical.net/news/2005/06/21/11260.aspx "We believe that AAV2 recognizes that the cancer cells are abnormal and destroys them. This suggests that AAV2 has great potential to be developed as an anti-cancer agent." The study was presented June 20, 2005, at the 24th annual meeting of the American Society for Virology held June 18-22 at Penn State, University Park campus. Although the reason why remains unclear, population-based studies have shown that people who carry AAV2 tend not to develop human papillomavirus- (HPV-) associated cervical cancer. In general, AAV2 requires association with a helper virus in order to replicate. When it finds a helper virus, such as HPV, AAV2 disrupts the life cycle of the host and induces apoptosis, a type of cell death. |

Thank you for your reply, FOB. A friend posted the article on FB today and I got very excited. Didn't realize it's news that's been around for a while. I hope and pray something comes of it.
