      My first thoughts too. Looks like it. I don’t have access to the full paper on my phone, but it looks like they use a molecule which is already used to image cancer cells, and can use it to rip open those cell walls. The fact that they have a mouse model where 50% were cancer free afterwards is promising, as long as they weren’t dead and cancer free. Also, the mice will have a very well studied form of cancer whereas humans will have more diverse cancer types. Still, seems a lot better than chemo.
