That marvel inspired AI gen crapola wiped out my interest in ScienceDaily.

Huh? Is this a bot?
This really does prove the point once again:
Mice are actually vast, hyper-intelligent pan-dimensional beings. They are not only subtly guiding our behavior by participating in our behavioral experiments, but also using us for scientific breakthroughs to improve their own quality of life.
Douglas Adam’s was right!
Adam's
to what thing of Douglas Adam are you referring?
There’s always one. /ThreeStoogesSlap. Stupid autocorrupt.
These creatures you call mice, you see, they are not quite as they appear. They are merely the protrusion into our dimension of vastly hyperintelligent pandimensional beings.
Douglas Adams, [The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy]
Having humans change your genome so that you develop cancer more easily, and then injecting into you a bunch of ineffective treatments is an improvement in quality of life?
Another miracle cure for mice!
Everytime I look at my paycheck, I get enraged knowing the amount that's going just for mice healthcare. They aren't even citizens, they don't pay taxes themselves. Freeloaders, the tiny lot of them.
That so many mice still has tumours even with all these cures for them is an atrocity
Obligatory xkcd : https://xkcd.com/1217/
Wonder if I could get that for my dog.
Found out yesterday she has bone cancer.
Well yeah, if you're using THAT frog bacterium. Obviously.
This entire practice and trials on animals is big pharma controlling cures by bureaucracy and red tape and "inhumane" testing. Big pharma lines the pockets of the guys who write FDA rules. FDA rules state you can't practice on humans thus curing humans because that would collapse pharmaceuticals, cancer treatments. Thanks a lot think-tanks. Your big brains slowed progress, but prevented famines due to population control right?
Kindly fuck off with your anti science bullshit
The FDA has plenty of issues but saying 'no, you can't test things on humans without first testing them on non-human animals,' isn't for the sake of the companies. There are a lot of 'potential cures' for which we never want human trials, because rodent trials reveal how much cancer they cause rather than cure.
Did the bacterium evolve to fight cancer in its host just due to selection pressure to prevent host death?
If that’s the case, I’m surprised it was able to do it better than its host’s immune system—I guess bacteria can evolve faster due to shorter generations?
I doubt tree frogs live long enough for the bacteria to have evolved to fight cancer as such. They are quite small.
They also produce of range of drugs secreted on their skin, including anti-virals for hiv, antibiotics (russian one,) one containing a super opiate, (south american desert one,) the poison dart ones, what else, there are others.
The toxins are not alkaloids but peptides, and tend to have a much shorter half time as active ingredients as I'm aware.
colorectal tumors
So that is a very specific type of tumor in an animal very different from humans
I'm sure its an interesting titbit but the way the title says it it suggests "all" cancers, which is nonsense

The researchers emphasize that these findings are limited to mice, but they believe the results provide an encouraging proof of concept for developing new bacterial cancer therapies.
That mouse was also a very angry person all the time. Such an asshole to everyone. Like a cancer you could say. May he rest in peace.
