Researchers from Howard Hughes Medical Institute
recently developed technology that makes possible to find out every virus you
have ever been infected with analyzing a single drop of blood.
That method is called VirScan, and it can detect more
than 1000 pathogens. A team tested 569 people from around the world and it
suggest that many people have been exposed to the same viruses.
And it has a lot of utilities. This technology could
help the investigators to prevent different diseases, for example, cancer. With
that, investigators can understand the genome of the viruses and everything it’s
easier to them to find new cures.
Opinion
This is a very good notice for the science, because we
can prevent some diseases that can kill us. We are nearer to control and cure
more mortal diseases that kill a lot of people every day, but it isn’t enough.
The poor people die because hunger and the cures of their diseases may be
expensive. I know it’s impossible to live in a perfect world, but with the
VirScan technology we are nearer
