Hopefully, the researchers will be fully employed by the EU. I wouldn’t trust the US to not fuck up this miracle.
“How much would you pay to not die of a tumour?”
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.
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.
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.
In this study on mice…
Took them 7 paragraphs to get around to mentioning that.
But this was based on their treatment of glioblastoma working in humans, and is a modified version of that one.
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.
Multiple Sclerosis comes to mind
Immune checkpoint inhibitors are already a relatively common therapy for several types of cancer.
Superbugs are gonna look like regular bugs.
This sounds like the intro plot to one of those zombie movies…

Yeah i’ve had RA since i was 12, that explaination of function just made my brain screech
This is how I Am Legend starts.
Win/win I love people that slap Chris Rock
What? Why?
I’m gonna be watching with popcorn when anti-vaxxers get cancer and definitely 100% will take this vaccine.
I mean, if it’s true and not just shit science reporting that I assume it is.
mRNA vaccine research in America? don’t need that, cancel the funding!
I want to believe.
Republicans “universal? Not on my watch”
Universal as in “anyone can pay big $$$ for it”
Too bad we got a Sociopathic Oligarchs as HSS, who thinks mRNA vaccines should be banned. Cancer is better than…well, whatever is wrong with mRNA vaccines.
amazing. i can already hear the anti vax crowd seething lol
What is the catch?
We’ll find out in 30 years
It causes cancer.
Whatatweest!
A fellow Robot Chicken connoisseur, I see! You have very good taste.
Besides that, I assume it comes at the cost of…unintended consequences for the body
As all medicines do, we still take medicine because it’s good for us in most situations when needed.
The ol’ cure the disease by killing the patient technique. Classic
Universal Cancer Vaccine? WASTE OF MONEY, CUT IT!
-The Trump Administration!
