How do viruses kill cancer cells?
Viruses can be engineered to specifically target and infect cancer cells, causing them to die. Some viruses can also stimulate the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells. Additionally, certain viruses have the ability to directly interfere with the replication process of cancer cells, leading to their death.
What is virotherapy and how does it work?
Virotherapy is a type of treatment that uses viruses to target and kill cancer cells. The viruses are modified to selectively infect and destroy cancer cells while leaving healthy cells unharmed. Once inside the cancer cells, the viruses replicate and cause the cells to burst, ultimately leading to the death of the cancer cells.
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.
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.
Viruses do not kill cells?
Viruses do not kill cells directly; instead, they hijack the cellular machinery to replicate themselves. When a virus infects a cell, it injects its genetic material, leading the cell to produce new viral particles. This process can disrupt normal cellular functions and often results in cell death, but the primary mechanism is the viral replication rather than a direct lethal action. Some viruses can also cause the cell to undergo programmed cell death (apoptosis) as a response to infection.
What is licing a cancer cell during chemotherapy?
Lysing a cancer cell during chemotherapy refers to the destruction or breakdown of the cancer cell membrane, leading to cell death. Chemotherapy drugs are designed to target and kill fast-growing cancer cells by interfering with their ability to divide and grow. Lysing cancer cells is a key mechanism by which chemotherapy works to shrink tumors and control cancer growth.
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.
