Cancer stem cell vaccine shows anti-tumor effect

Scientists have discovered a new technique that could help in the advancement of cancer vaccines. For the study, a research team extracted stem cells from two mouse models and used them to prepare a vaccine by priming antibodies and T cells. “This is a major breakthrough in immunotherapy research because we were able to use purified cancer stem cells to generate a vaccine, which strengthened the potency of antibodies and T cells that selectively targeted cancer stem cells,” Qiao...
