Viruses are some of the most insidious creations in nature, which once formed pinch off inside minuscule bubbles of cell membrane and continue to reproduce until the cell bursts. Virotherapy is the technique of using reproducing viruses to kill tumors. Researchers are trying to eliminate the noxious side effects of cancer treatments.
