Scientists in China have developed a new cancer treatment by engineering tumors to mimic pork, triggering the body's immune system to attack them with precision. Using a genetically modified virus, they disguise cancer cells as foreign pig tissue, leading to a hyperacute immune rejection response that attacks the tumors while leaving healthy cells intact. The study was published in the journal Cell on January 18, 2025.

Previous research on placebo and nocebo effects has shown that expecting relief can reduce pain, while expecting harm can make pain worse.
