Today was the first day of the science part of the M Foundation’s aging conference at UCLA. There were many impressive speakers and academics, but the most impressive was Zheng Cui from Wake Forest University School of Medicine. He has discovered that white blood cells in cancer resistant mice can be used to completely cure cancer in other mice. The same principle may hold for humans and he has been approved by the FDA to start human trials. He had a video where he showed the white blood cells eating up the cancer cells (they popped like a balloon). I’m not sure if that video is online anywhere, but I will ask if I see him again tomorrow.
