Sorry for the double dip today but this looks too promising to pass up:
The researchers have bred a large colony of the cancer-resistant mice, all from one mouse they discovered in 1999.
In previous studies the team showed that the resistant mice can survive very large doses – up to 3 billion cells – of any kind of cancer. This resistance is passed on genetically in a "perfect Mendelian single dominant gene pattern," says Cui, since the trait is transmitted to roughly half of each resistant-mouse's offspring. On this basis the scientists believe the resistance mutation must be in a single gene.
Now that's a good development. But that's not all! The article says that injecting the white blood cells from a resistant mouse into non-resistant mice cures them too!

awesome
thats not the first time i have heard of someone finding some possible way of curing cancer...there are also docs up in canada that have found a drug that can possibly cure it also...the cure itself is worth well over a trillion dollars... personally i think u can go with stem cells to get rid of cancer or at least stop it...use the stem cells to re-boot the protein inhibitors in the cells so they dont produce mutated cells(cancer cells)...and possibly stop the cancer from spreading but i still dont know if it will get rid of the cancer cells already there...
