CANCER
CURED BY HIV?
WAS CANCER REALLY CURED BY HIV?
I CHOSE THIS TOPIC BECAUSE IT LOOKED INTERESTING, AND
IT COULD HERALD A CURE FOR CANCER.
CANCER FORMS TUMORS, RESULTING IN THE BLOCKAGE OF CRUCIAL ORGANS.
THE HIV VIRUS ATTACKS THE IMMUNE SYSTEM, WHICH CAN LEAD TO DEATH.
IF YOU MODIFY THE VIRUS TO ONLY ATTACK CANCERouS CELLS,
IT ACTS LIkE AN ENZYME, AND KILLS THE CANCEROUS CELLS, CURING THE CANCER.
If hiv kills cancer cells, did we finally find a cure?!?!?

this topic relates to what we have been studying in bio because...
- it relates to the cell cycle, mitosis
- overactive cell reproduction
- hiv is a virus
a thing to know...
It wasn't actually HIV. It was a modified strain.
many of us have friends or family who have had cancer,
and this could herald a cure!!!
Research was difficult, because
a lot of sites were either misleading, or tabloids.
pop quiz!
- true or false: hiv cured cancer
- true or false: the virus acts like an enzyme
any questions?
