Japanese researchers engineer cancer cells to kill themselves

Researchers at Japan's RIKEN Pioneering Research Institute and the Institute of Science Tokyo have developed an experimental technique that tricks cancer cells into producing a toxin that destroys them from the inside. In lab tests, the approach killed cancer cells while leaving normal cells unharmed, raising hopes for a highly targeted form of cancer treatment.

Why now: The selective killing of cancer cells without harming healthy tissue is a promising advance that is drawing attention to a potential new cancer therapy.
