A Sci-Fi World: "Scientists develop a cancer vaccine to simultaneously kill and prevent brain cancer"

MedicalXpress reports:

"Our team has pursued a simple idea: to take cancer cells and transform them into cancer killers and vaccines," said corresponding author Khalid Shah, MS, Ph.D., director of the Center for Stem Cell and Translational Immunotherapy (CSTI) and the vice chair of research in the Department of Neurosurgery at the Brigham and faculty at Harvard Medical School and Harvard Stem Cell Institute (HSCI). "Using gene engineering, we are repurposing cancer cells to develop a therapeutic that kills tumor cells and stimulates the immune system to both destroy primary tumors and prevent cancer."

We may be wary of reprogramming our cells--the Covid mRNA vaccines programming our cells to produce the spike proteins from the virus being an example where caution was justified--but this is the future of fighting diseases.
