3-D IMAGE of COLD VIRUS...A Possible Cancer Cure?
65COLD VIRUS,CANCER HERO!
After more than a decade ,scientists completed a 3-D atomic-scale map of a virus that causes the common cold.According to Popular Science,it's the largest virus ever mapped.The map could help researchers re-engineer the virus for gene therapy for teatment of cancer and other ailments.Robotic systems,advanced x-ray and years of patience have made this possible.
The adenovirus is responsible for a number of other ailment such as gastrointestinal disorders with its ability to infect many types of cells.
Understanding its structure ,including how it dis-assembles when entering a cell could help scientists use it to treat a number of cancers and even cardiovascular disease.
Using x-ray crystallography,scientists turn large quantities of a virus into crystaline form.The atoms in the crystal diffract the x-ray light,allowing the scientists to reconstruct thediffracted patterns.
Along with improved gene therapies,it's also possible to develop anti-adenovirus drugs preventing the virus from disassembling keeping it from infecting cells.
Summary: Viruses have the ability,once geneticly adapted,to target cancer cells specificaly while leaving the healthy cells unaffected...something radiation and chemo-therapy currently cannot do!

Thank you for the intrest Putz Ballard;)
Pretty neat. They will cure it yet. God Bless You.
Thanks for the intrest Lee;)
what a cool hub... I had no idea they had mapped the cold virus!!
I was a little suprised that they were manipulating it to target cancer cells,I've heard of them using harmless viruses to carry chemo-type properties that would only target cancer cells,leaving the healthy cells alone,BUT the COLD VIRUS! I guess what doesn't kill you makes you stronger,haha;)Thanks for reading Carolina;)
WOW amazing photos and information. Thanks for the vital information on Cold Virusa the possible cancer cure. One day and hopefully soon! Peace :)
Haha I forgot to follow you,we,ve been orbiting each other for a while,love the made in USA Hub...fixin to go check out some of your other stuff,thanks for stopping by Katiem;)
Very exciting, the possibilities, maybe soon, I hope so. Thank,s for sharing the good news.
Cheers
You can't say their not thinking outside the box with this one always exploring,haha;)
So how are the images so beautiful and the virus so nasty - explains a lot of things in life. :)
That was genius. I hope it'll take effect. A cure to various cancer, it's the next big thing. Thanks for the heads up Prof. Acer ;)
The virus's universal ability to access cells gives it the unique bio-mechanical ability to target (with gene modifications)many different types of cancer cells and disrupt their growth,billyaustindillon and twentyfive;)
This is awesome stuff. I really had no idea. Having lost family members to cancer and having a family member now suffering the side-effects of chemo- and radiation-therapy for cancer I can appreciate the value of this kind of research.
Thanks for the Hub.
Love and peace

Yea,tonymac,this type of treatment takes away the use of radiation and I think considered a type of chemo. that has benign side-effects,thanks for reading;)
Wonderful Hub. Well compiled and very informative.
Thank you Sid,they're getting specificaly to the difference of cancer and healthy cells,and targeting cancer cells without affeting the others;)
This is great! I just bookmarked this to show my daughter tomorrow.
When she was 10 I explained cancer to her. She said that if only they could find a way for the body to look at cancer like a virus it could probably be cured.
I'm thinking this is kind of like that! How cool!
Your so very welcome sueroy333,thanks for stopping by.;)
This thing is amazing! As a medical student I appreciate it!
This,thinking outside the box,idea is promising,thanks for the visit ncuxapa.;)
Wonderful! If this would have only been available for my son. Such exciting news though - to know that a possible cure for cancer is on it's way.
Using viruses to deliver targeted treatment does have the scientific community excited and hopeful...Thanks Vocalcoach.;)

This is interesting, great hub.
