An illustration of the Zika virus attacking glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) cells. The image should depict the Zika virus particles (small, spherical, with a spiky outer surface) engaging with and infiltrating the brain cancer cells. Show the cancer cells being broken down and destroyed, with vibrant and clear colors indicating the contrast between the virus and the cancer cells. The background should be a subtle gradient that doesn't distract from the main action of the virus attacking the cancer cells.

Exploring Zika Virus as a Therapeutic Tool for Aggressive Brain Cancer

Topline: New research highlights the potential of repurposing live-attenuated Zika virus vaccine (ZIKV-LAV) strains to selectively target and kill glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) cells, offering a novel and promising approach to treating this aggressive brain cancer.
