UT Austin and @UTMDAnderson researchers may have found a new drug that can "trick" the immune system into fighting cancer. The experimental treatment can mimic a viral infection, prompting the body to attack tumors. The discovery could potentially offer opportunities to lower the doses for chemotherapy and fewer side effects: utex.as/3RGhtRG
