Pokemon and Cancer
POKEMON apparantly causes cancer. No, it's not what you're thinking.
Someone on TZ pointed out this quote from the research team:
"Pokemon works by controlling the pathways that are required to transform normal cells to cancerous ones. The researchers found that when they 'knocked out' the Pokemon gene in mice, that transformation was blocked and cells do not become cancerous."
If Pokemon gets "knocked out" cells don't "evolve" into cancer. I love scientists with sense of humor.
