  1. A modified version of the cold-sore virus *herpes simplex* is being used to treat cancer. Early stage trials show very positive results.

  2. I’ve seen enough of these type of stories not to get excited, but this is great news

    There’s no magic bullet (and never will be), but over my lifetime lots of cancers have gone from being death sentences to treatable illnesses
