As ERV points out, this is another point for science.
It seems that human ERVs just may be involved in cancer.
Again, Im not sure what exactly to make of this data yet-- I dont want to get too excited, but maybe these particles are actually infectious and are perpetuating/worsening the cancer. Maybe anti-retrovirals could act as anti-cancer agents! ... but we dont know if thats the case, yet.
The authors do make the point that even if their observations are an artifact, even if these viral particles pop up, but they are harmless, detecting these little guys might still be useful as a relatively simple clinical tool! History of breast cancer in your family? Maybe you should get RT assays done on your blood, in addition to regular mammograms! Maybe the particles pop up before a mass is detectable! Undergoing treatment for lymphoma? Hey, your ERV RNA levels arent going down... maybe you should try a different anti-cancer drug. |
We'll just have to wait and see.

What brought that on? this. Original posting here.
Another example of this guy's lunacy here. |

| Interesting... Really interesting. |
Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

Link between human ERVs and cancer??
