holy_calamity writes "New Scientist reports on a sneaky new approach to getting the immune system to fight cancer. An implant releases a "molecular perfume" irresistable to messenger immune cells, which enter the implant where they are given a sample of the cancer's "scent" and a disperse signal that sends them scrurrying to the nearest lymph node. There they convince other immune cells to start attacking anything that matches the sample they picked up."
