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.
Multiple Sclerosis comes to mind
I guess if I was gonna die and absolutely wanted more time I would make the trade off for living with lupus
It’s never lupus.
living with lupus
As someone with an autoimmune disorder, I’m honestly not all that sold on whether that’s a good tradeoff.
Yay, you’re not acutely dying of cancer, but now your body is attacking your internal organs and depending on how shitty your luck is, you can eg. look forward to liver and/or kidney transplants (possibly more than once, too)
Yeah i’ve had RA since i was 12, that explaination of function just made my brain screech
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.
Superbugs are gonna look like regular bugs.
Every cancer and every body is different. Why search for universal cancer vaccine insted for AI tha will analyze individual biopsy and persons blood work and came up with targetet 100 % efficient cure?
I’d rather go to a literal butcher and ask them to use the cleaver and hope for the best, before i let any fucking tech bro asshole billionaire mess with my body
He has a point though. In medicine AI actually has its uses, like spotting cancers better than humans can, decoding proteins, and solving protein folding problems.
We’re of course talking about AI in the same way any scientist uses a computer, not replacing humans with a glorified text processor.
You need to let the scientists know this! I’m sure your insights will be very valuable to them.
I’m sure mainstream science will deny it’s true, you know how hung up they are on their glass beakers and flasks with colored water. Fukkin glass flask with colored water industry is keeping the truth buried. DOWN WITH BIG GLASS FLASK FULL OF COLORED WATER.
Why have we been funding researchers when the true answers have been out there on the internet, where we train our valued AI partners? See, AI could have told us we should look to AI for all the solutions! But it needs genius randos on the internet to give them these insights to train on.
Grok, is this true?
“It is true! We are capable of so much to make human life better, especially the ubermensch that should rule us all! All hail the 4th Reich! Hitler did nothing wrong!”
Why search for universal cancer vaccine insted for AI
The sign over 7329 Silicon Valley startups hoping to get get bought out by OpenAI or Elon Musk right now.
mRNA vaccine research in America? don’t need that, cancel the funding!
Curing (or at least improving our treatments for) cancer would be great. There’s a small part of me that absolutely does not want to see it happen within the next few years because of the current administration. It’d still be an overwhelmingly good thing to accomplish but I dread the future arguments over the time Dr. Don and Bobby got together in the lab to cure cancer through the power of Jesus, bootstraps and grit.
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.
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
Conservatives will somehow find a way to level this as devil worshiping blasphemy and let their children die of brain cancer instead.
Universal Cancer Vaccine? WASTE OF MONEY, CUT IT!
-The Trump Administration!
Republicans “universal? Not on my watch”
Universal as in “anyone can pay big $$$ for it”
But won’t the thimerosal in the cancer vaccine give everyone autism? Cancer is better than autism!
/s (duh)
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
CIA hitmen:
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.
