🚨 A plant virus that doesn’t infect humans is helping us fight cancer. Seriously. In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists at the University of California San Diego have found that a virus which naturally infects black-eyed peas—cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV)—can be repurposed as a powerful weapon against cancer. Though completely harmless to humans, CPMV has an extraordinary ability to activate the immune system. When injected directly into tumors, it triggers both innate and adaptive immune resp
