I've followed Dr. Cui's research for a while now, and the paper that you refer to is just one procedure done in the 10 years of research since they discovered the cancer resistant mouse. They've gone as far as they can go with mice...move on to humans and let's see if this stuff works.
I agree with you on several things, the deadlinks on Wake Forests websites, updated material, I couldn't find any communication from Dr. Cui after the FDA put a halt on human trials. In the papers I've read however the procedure cured mice afflicted with advanced terminal cancers, whether artificially induced or naturally occuring, the tumors are a part of the living system at that point and is killing the system.
In any case, this type of approach I think has merrit to work, they genetically engineered 40% of the offspring of the original mouse to be cancer resistant...and used those mice to cure the cancer (artificially induced or not) in other mice.
My question is like yours...what happened? I hate to think of conspiracies but cancer is a big business, I don't know about you but my treatment was insanely expensive ($15k/cisplatin dose) I can't help but think "conspiracy theory"
I love the feedback Markus, keep it coming.
