Hello. I am trying to make a batch of homemade cancer cells, and (god forbid) I'm fresh out of pregnant women. All I have is a couple of petri dishes, some AGAR, a scalpel, human flesh (for culture. I'm not a flesh easting zombie), and my (abnormally huge) brain(JK). I need to know: Is it possible to deform, mutate, or otherwise mess with the stuff that times cell replication and the cell cycle? In other words, are there other ways to transform normal cells into cancer cells without means of in-vitro fertilization and all that high-tech stuff that costs a million dollars? EX. I heard (rumors) that sunlight causes cancer if the radiation is extreme. So could my cells do a little sunbathing and undergo cancerous division?
Thanks. E-mail me if you have any other questions. I would like the price range to be between $0-50, if at all possible.
