Bayblab Foundation Offers One Billion Dollars for The Cure for Cancer !!!!!!

Attention brilliant young minds of biomedical research, your time has finally come! The BigPharma conspiratists have been permitted to suppress the OneTrueCure for Cancer for long enough. The Bayblab Foundation has decided to finally end the fiasco once and for all. We will be awarding one BILLION CAD to the one to identifty the **ultimate** target for cancer therapy. No magic bullet required (we'll handle that), all you have to do is name the enemy. Should we go straight into the belly of the beast to strike at the tumor cells themselves? They are clearly the agressors, but these genetically labile shape-shifters might be hard to pin down... Should we go after the infrastructure, the tumor's endothelial cells that feed the tumor, or the friendly neighbourhood unknowing accomplices, the stromal fibroblasts? How about the smoke-grenading monocytes laying down the thick cover, or the extracellular matrix protein framework? Or perhaps we shouldn't be destroying bad cells, but strengthening the good guys. Cytotoxic T cells? Natural killers? Antibody-secreting B cells?

What say you Bayblabbers? What do you reason is the best target for cancer therapy and why? Add your answer to the comments below and leave the rest to us...

How cancer quacks profit from science

Here at the bayblab, we routinely cure cancer, so when we hear of a miracle cure in the media we tend to be skeptical. More often than not, it tends to be an exaggeration of some in-vitro findings that are blown out of proportion by some over-eager journalist with a poor understanding of medical science. Unfortunately, often the scientist is misquoted, and the conspiracy theory of big pharmas not wanting to deliver a cure resurfaces. Of course this is bad for the scientist, it's bad for the general population who constantly ears about cancer being cured without any concrete drugs being offered, and it is bad for the patient, because cancer quacks will prey on their hopes. DCA, which was studied at the University of Alberta, is a simple chemical that can be used to combat the warburg effect (which we'll explain in the upcoming episode 9 of the podcast). It was even featured on "the current" on CBC last week. The findings published in Cancer Cell were promising, but need to be further investigated. However that doesn't stop cancer quacks to turn in a profit while pushing DCA to desperately ill cancer patients, a chemical that is highly toxic, a carcinogen, and teratogenic. This article explains how this remarkable discovery was perverted by unscrupulous people.

Lab accident cures cancer

The story goes like this: Grad student works on GI inflammation and uses an epithelial cancer cell line as a model. Tries to see if a PPAR-Gamma modulator would be effective against Chron's disease or ulcerative colitis, but messes her calculation by a couple of logs. Result, the cells die, and she claims to have found cure for cancer. Apparently the microtubules "disapeared", but we don't know how or why. Which makes me think I have already found the cure for cancer several times over, I just didn't realise.
Top ten cures:

1. Serum starvation
2. Low PH
3. Gram negative bacteria
4. Mycoplasma
5. Fungus
6. Autoclave
7. Summer student
8. Alcohol
9. Trypsin
10. protein lysis buffer
