      VIROTHERAPY-using viruses to destroy cancer. Isnt it interesting?? For the first time we can harness these disease causing viruses to disease curing viruses. Any more info on virotherapy??

      oncolytic virotherapy can be transductional (the viruses attack only the cancerous cells) or non-transductional(enters other cells but replicate only in cancerous cells).a combination of both isalso used.

      Viral therapy induces immune responses which can be fatal however you can try to generate a glyco-protein coating to mask its presence
