Anti-Cancer Vaccine?
Researchers at Stanford University have made a vaccine that contains stem cells or stem cells that are generated from adult cells. A few years ago a scientist figured out that these adult cells could be genetically reprogrammed in a similar way to act like stem cells. These cells "can take any shape or function, "specializing" into whatever type of cell the body needs". A patients own genetic material contains immunogenic advantages which contain T cells that contribute to it. The iPSCs shot was given to rodents whose immune system reacted the shots antigen which in turn made it immune to cancer cells. 70% of 75 rodents were cured from cancer.
