Stem cells that release cancer-killing toxins offer new brain tumor treatment

A new way to to use stem cells to fight brain cancer is revealed in a proof-of-concept study published in the journal Stem Cells , where scientists describe how they got the cells to produce and release toxins that kill only tumor cells. The researchers genetically engineered stem cells to make and secrete toxins that kill brain cancer cells without themselves being affected.
