Ohio State University cancer researchers have developed a tumor-attacking virus that both kills brain tumor cells and blocks the growth of new tumor blood vessels, or angiogenesis. Their research, published online in the journal Molecular Therapy, shows that viruses designed to kill cancer cells — oncolytic viruses — might be more effective against aggressive brain tumors if they also carry a gene for a protein that inhibits tumor blood vessel growth.
