When defences attack: the hidden cause of cancer hiding in our cells

We look at APOBECs - biological double-agents that start out as a friend to our cells but morph into a deadly enemy as cancers develop. We look at APOBECs - biological double-agents that start out as a friend to our cells but morph into a deadly enemy as cancers develop.
