Rfk is about to wake up and fire everyone doing this research.
When we say “healthcare” we mean caring for the health of healthcare corporations.
It has the potential to do away with chemotherapy, surgery and radiation treatment.
I read that as: Will never reach the market because it threatens a multibillion dollar industry.
But srsly, glioblastoma is a really nasty motherfucker with a very low patient survival rate, so if they’ve really managed to cure it that’s a huge milestone.
Previous research has focused more on homing in on a target or tailoring a vaccine specific to a patient’s own cancer profile.
“This study suggests a third emerging paradigm,” said study co-author Duane Mitchell, MD. “What we found is by using a vaccine designed not to target cancer specifically but rather to stimulate a strong immunologic response, we could elicit a very strong anticancer reaction. And so this has significant potential to be broadly used across cancer patients – even possibly leading us to an off-the-shelf cancer vaccine.”
So… Kinda triggering your own auto-inmune response. But I’d be wary of trouble with overtly aggressive auto-inmune responses, as we already have quite a few diseases coming from these, as well.
I guess if I was gonna die and absolutely wanted more time I would make the trade off for living with lupus
living with lupus
It’s never lupus.
Superbugs are gonna look like regular bugs.
Immune checkpoint inhibitors are already a relatively common therapy for several types of cancer.
This sounds like the intro plot to one of those zombie movies…
Because Hollywood is so insanely bad at portraying science even remotely accurately, literally everything sounds like the plot to a zombie movie.
I’m not even kidding, I’m not in the biotech field and even I feel my eye twitch every time I see a movie with zombified lab animals smacking into the bars of their cages as the plucky heroes try to unravel what vile sins against nature those evil researchers uncovered in their hubris.
Multiple Sclerosis comes to mind
While the formulation isn’t unlike the Covid-19 vaccine, which uses lipid nanoparticles to deliver the genetic instructions to the body, it is still somewhat different. Instead of the drug encoding a virus protein, it sends a message to the immune system to rally the troops. It essentially tells the body to produce certain proteins that stimulate the immune system – including a protein within cancer cells known as PD-L1 (Programmed Death-Ligand 1), which makes tumors become more visible to immune cells.
TLDR: they are finding that it’s more effective to make cancer more visible and have the body’s immune system do its thing.
In this study on mice…
Took them 7 paragraphs to get around to mentioning that.
mRNA vaccine research in America? don’t need that, cancel the funding!
amazing. i can already hear the anti vax crowd seething lol
Republicans “universal? Not on my watch”
Universal as in “anyone can pay big $$$ for it”
Conservatives will somehow find a way to level this as devil worshiping blasphemy and let their children die of brain cancer instead.
CIA hitmen:
Any cancer? How does this work with people who have gene mutations that suppress cancer-fighting defence systems.
E X T E R M I N A T E/s
But won’t the thimerosal in the cancer vaccine give everyone autism? Cancer is better than autism!
/s (duh)
Sweet baby Jesus, is this it? Is this finally the cure for cancer that everyone’s been waiting for?
My bet this one does cure cancer but makes your immune system too reactive in turn behave like how COVID kills people.
Sounds great, but don’t get excited, it’s not for you. It will be priced so that poorz can’t afford it, like 5-15 mil a pop
“It’s not a tumor!!!”
