While this procedure is not what I had in mind when I spoke of being able to reprogram the cancer cell, I'm nevertheless glad that reprogramming was found to be possible for the unattached cancer cell. The unattached immune cell is needed everywhere in the body and it would make sense for a cancer derived from an immune cell to differentiate into other immune cells as needed. This is what was found by the Stanford researchers--reprogramming of leukemia cells into normal granulocytes and macrophages via supplied ligands or transcription factors. The initial observation from Stanford came about as a result of a shotgun approach. This approach should also be used for the solid tumor and if their cocktail doesn't do it, I would consider extracting Embryonic Cell Surface molecules from various developmental time points.
Finding the right CRF for the differentiation of solid tumors is right around the corner.
My next post will be one showing what the CRF theory helps explain when it comes to cancer biology.
One major question that I need to resolve is whether the CRF for solid tumors is found between neighboring cells on their cell membranes or on what could be tissue-specific ECM's or on both.
