If this is true think about a world where no Colds or a virus of any kind can breed and infect someone to the point of either misery or death.. I personally doubt it will be available due to all the money in the over the counter drugs sold every year.. Also even though the article did not say anything about certain known cancers you have to wonder if this would be an effective treatment ?
So what is this mysterious technological advancement? The paper calls them DRACOs, which is short for Double-stranded RNA Activated Caspase Oligomerizers. In essence, it is a substance that induces apoptosis, or cell death, in cells containing viral dsRNA, the double-stranded RNA produced by viruses for the purpose of replication.
Human cells are naturally pre-programmed to create special proteins that destroy these dsRNA strands, but viruses can mutate to outsmart and bypass this safeguard. This is where DRACOs come in, adding an additional protein into the mix that triggers apoptosis in infected cells. This combined approach is not only effective against virtually all tested viruses, but it also eliminates the possibility of viral resistance.
“Viruses are pretty good at developing resistance to things we try against them,” stated Karla Kirkegaard, a professor of microbiology and immunology at Stanford University, to MIT News about the development. “ut in this case, it’s hard to think of a simple pathway to drug resistance.”
