Cellular kill code discovery may help extinguish cancers

Exciting new research from Northwestern Medicine has discovered that inside every cell within the human body is a toxic kill code designed to trigger self-destruction if it senses a cell is turning cancerous. Across two newly published studies the scientists remarkably homed in on the exact nucleotide code underlying this mechanism and suggest it may lead to an entirely novel kind of cancer treatment.
