Living Drugs: application of genetically modified viruses in cancer treatment Unlike any other families of organisms which may be beneficial or even essential to the well-being of each other and the environment, the nature of virus life cycle fated them pathogenic and purely harmful to their hosts. In fact the word "virus" simply means venom (Edward K. Weigner, 1999). But now with a maturing understanding of genetic engineering and recombinant technology, we can expect to create …showed first 75 words of 1247 total…
