Evolution as a treatment?

Another interesting article by John Carrol at FierceBiotech...

The article focusses mostly on the financial aspects of the firm in question...a lot of the coverage of the biotech arena is primariliy finincial in nature, who's getting another round of financing, who's entering into what drug development deal, who's getting purchased by whom...etc, etc...all good stuff, especially if you're trying to turn a buck in this industry...

Take a moment to read thru to the second half of the article or so...

The treatment in question uses successive generation of virus mutations as a methodology of treating the disease...I find this kind of stuff facinating...I may not understand it but this industry never ceases to amaze me...

This is the type of groundbreaking innovation that should have far-reaching impact beyond the specific case being mentioned here...here's hoping the research pans out...
