That's awesome... I hope that by the time I'm old the only thing I risk dying of are freak accidents (crashes) and old age.

The first thing that strikes me as odd about that article is how would a white blood cell be able to make that determination. Often the only difference between a healthy cell and a deadly cancer is a knockout of a genotype....white blood cells dont read genetic information they just encapsulate and kill shit.

I just read the actual scientific article...it deals only with lymphoma which makes sense. I think the article based on the paper is a bit overly optomistic buts its still cool.
