What can bacteria do that viruses cannot?
Bacteria can attack and kill cells. White blood cells can kill bacteria.
How does small interfearing RNA kill cancer cells?
Small interfering RNA (siRNA) can kill cancer cells by targeting specific genes or pathways that are crucial for cancer cell survival or growth. When siRNA enters the cancer cells, it binds to its complementary mRNA, leading to degradation of the mRNA and inhibition of protein synthesis. This disrupts crucial cellular processes in the cancer cells, ultimately leading to their death.
Why viruses regarded as being biological important?
1. Virotherapy is an experimental form of cancer treatment using biotechnology to convert viruses into cancer-fighting agents by reprogramming viruses to attack cancerous cells, while healthy cells remained relatively undamaged. Usually the viruses used are herpes simplex virus or Adenoviruses.
What are examples of beneficial virus?
Some viruses, such as bacteriophages, can be beneficial as they infect and kill harmful bacteria, helping to control their populations. Additionally, certain viruses can be engineered to deliver gene therapies to target specific cells in the body to treat genetic disorders or cancer.
What is a charastic of cancer cells?
they multiply out of control and kill lots of people every year.
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.
Do viruses really kill cancer cell?
no
Why do viruses kill?
Your host cells in your body.
What can bacteria do that viruses cannot?
Bacteria can attack and kill cells. White blood cells can kill bacteria.
What two fruits can kill cancer?
I heard that peaches and plums can kill breast cancer cells :)
How do cancer cells kill an organism?
Cancer kills an organism by destroying the red blood cells.
Does radium kill cancer cells?
Yes
How does samarium help kill cancer cells?
Samarium doesn't kill cancer cells. A radioactive isotope of samarium (samarium-153) is used in a chemotherapy agent, but it's the radiation, not the samarium, that kills the cancer cells.
How can you kill viruses?
There are numerous products that kill viruses on environmental surfaces, but few that safely attack them in the body. The body's "T helper cells" can signal macrophages to attack some viruses.
How does small interfearing RNA kill cancer cells?
Small interfering RNA (siRNA) can kill cancer cells by targeting specific genes or pathways that are crucial for cancer cell survival or growth. When siRNA enters the cancer cells, it binds to its complementary mRNA, leading to degradation of the mRNA and inhibition of protein synthesis. This disrupts crucial cellular processes in the cancer cells, ultimately leading to their death.
How can some viruses be helpful?
Some viruses can be helpful by being used in gene therapy to treat genetic disorders. They can also be engineered to target and kill cancer cells in a process known as oncolytic virotherapy. Additionally, viruses can be used in biotechnology to deliver genetic material into cells for research or therapeutic purposes.
