I will be writing a Review Paper on state-of-the-art technology for curing cancer, or in this case, an injectable gene therapy can possibly cure cancerous tumors by targeting the blood vessels in them. Although it has not been tested on humans as of yet, it is indeed a remarkable achievement because if it proves to be successful in curing cancerous tumors, there is a likely chance that it will be able to cure Alzheimer's, multiple sclerosis and even heart failure, which all feature abnormal blood vessels.

[RESEARCH PAPER] Transcriptional Targeting of Primary and Metastatic Tumor Neovasculature by an Adenoviral Type 5 Roundabout 4 Vector in Mice 

The research paper appears quite intimidating what with all the abbreviations of complicated expressions. But with a topic as interesting and recent (it came out on the 23rd of December 2013!) it's hard not to want to write about this advancement in cancer cure development and research.
