Well, neat. It'd be nice if it somehow survived, even if it's in the wrong orbit.

Common virus kills cancer cells, leaves regular cells unharmed.

This is really, really exciting. It's also why I occasionally envy people in biology right now - we're really finally starting to figure out a lot of the tools we've had in our bodies since the beginning, we just didn't know how or why to use them.
