What was originally a study focused on finding the natural mechanisms that could protect organisms from cancer has led to a stunning finding: the researchers have discovered that inside every cell within the human body is a toxic code designed to trigger self-destruction if it senses a cell is turning cancerous. Now that the researchers have decoded the exact mechanism that can destroy cancer cells, the hope is that it can lead to entirely novel kind of cancer treatment.
