On the bright side, UHS says it is equipped to begin vaccinations for everyone as soon as they get enough of the vaccine, even if it happens over J-term. That, of course, depends on whether they will ever get enough, and UHS admits that they probably won't receive...
A team of Harvard bioengineers and biologists say that they have developed a cancer vaccine that eradicates melanoma tumors in mice and slows their reoccurrence.
The method detailed in the study, published last week in the journal Science Translational Medicine, used a miniscule plastic disk implant carrying the vaccine to recognize and eliminate tumor cells.
The new vaccine specifically attacks cancerous cells, avoiding the collateral damage on healthy cells that other cancer treatments often cause. This approach may also build long-term resistance within the immune system, the researchers said.
Ali said that the new vaccine protects against the recurrence of melanoma, though the data supporting this claim remains unpublished.
