Fascinating new research being done at Berkeley could completely transform
the way we look at cancer from now on. Scientists are now arguing that the disease
might actually be its own foreign species, instead of a creation of our own
DNA.
A
group of researchers at University of California at Berkeley have
proposed a radical
new theory that
would cast most everything we know about cancer in a new light. While
scientists have for years believed that the disease was the result of
our own DNA run amok, the truth might be much weirder -- that cancer
is, maybe, its own separate species.
