Discovered by researchers at The University of Texas at Austin and The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, the potential drug, called Compound 1, causes cancer cells to release the same signals normal cells release when infected by a virus in preclinical models.

This is called viral mimicry. In an experiment, the immune system attacked these cancer cells as if they were a virus.
