Researchers induce cancer cells to 'commit suicide' with a self-produced bacterial toxin
For the first time in the world researchers at Tel Aviv University have encoded a toxin produced by bacteria into mRNA (messenger RNA) molecules and delivered these particles directly to cancer cells, causing the cells to produce the toxin—which eventually killed them with a success rate of 50%.

This sounds promising! Killing cancer while leaving other cells alone is some seriously good news.
