Summary:
BBC News reports on new research in which mouse skin cells were use to treat cancerous brain tumors in mice that could eventually be used to treat tumors in humans:
"Genetically modified skin cells could be used to fight a cancer which strikes the very young, a UK study suggests. Scientists at UCL said they were able to stimulate the immune system of mice by injecting the animals' skin cells into a neuroblastoma tumour. But the authors, writing in the British Journal of Cancer, said clinical trials in humans were at least five years off."
