Study: Globally Feared Zika Virus May Help Fight Against Brain Cancer

The virus could lead to an effective treatment for glioblastoma, a fatal type of brain cancer, researchers from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and the University of California San Diego School of Medicine said Tuesday.
