Adult Stem Cells From Bone Marrow Made To Kill Metastatic Lung Cancer Cells In Mice

Researchers have demonstrated the ability of adult stem cells from bone marrow (mesenchymal stem cells, or MSCs) to deliver a cancer-killing protein to tumors. The genetically engineered stem cells are able to home to the cancer cells, both in culture and in mouse models, and deliver TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand, destroying the tumor cells while sparing normal cells.
