…your white blood cells, that is, if you’re one of the presumably thousands or millions of humans out there who are as resistant to cancer as these supermice.
My grandfathers both died of lung and throat cancer (although they both smoked heavily), and I’ve had more than my share of sunburns so I know I’m in for it on the skin front eventually too. But in theory, if I get some of your white blood cells, your superimmunity transfers to me! At least it worked that way in the mice.
Not that I’d support a massive citizen biodatabase to help find cancer-resistant humans or anything.
