How do viruses kill cancer cells?
Because they attack the cells in the body and cancer cells are just the mutated cell of our body very good question by the way
What are oncolytic viruses?
Oncolytic viruses are viruses used in cancer treatment. They kill these viruses through chemical means in multiple stages by attacking infected cells.
Can viruses kill cells?
Yes. Viruses' only aim is to reproduce; if they invade a cell and are not killed off, they will continue replicating themselves until the cell bursts.
Why do antibodies work to kill bacteria but not viruses?
bacteria is complit cell or contain cellular material hence specific antibody riquar as compair to virus is difrance
how are new viruses produced How might this process cause harm to the infected cell?
All viruses kill they cells that they infect. If not right away then later.
What do viruses have?
All viruses have is their membrane, cytoplasm, and their nucleus. These nuclei are different so that they kill other cell's nucleus and replace them and then the virus cells will increase in numbers.
Could the zombie apocalypse actually happen?
Nobody really knows, but there are really bad viruses that can kill a lot of people.
How do you use gamma rays to kill cancer cell?
You have to put the source (usually cobalt) right next to (or inside of) the cancer cells.
Why do viruses risk killing a host. is it not more efficient to have sustained reproduction by keeping the host alive?
this is the way that evolution have worket.In any way their are many type of viruses thay dont kill the host cell for example lysogenic bacteiophages, or HPV.human papiloma virus it doesent kill host cell but it force them to divide and most of cell will be carcinogenic.
What is a cancer cell?
Cancer is the uncontrolled growth and division of cells. It can kill an organism by crowding out of normal cells, resulting in the lose of tissue. The main causes of cancer are environmental factors.
How do drugs used to treat cancer affect cell growth?
Most drugs used to treat cancer kill actively growing/replicating cells.
Does Bacteria have viruses?
No. It's the other way around. Certain types of viruses (bacteriophage) will target bacteria, and they use the bacteria to reproduce the virus, called the Lytic cycle: The virus DNA or RNA enters the bacteria, takes over and new viruses are produced and when they break out of the cell through the membrane they destroy the bacteria in the process.
