Scientists create vaccine to kill, prevent brain cancer cells - study
Cancer vaccines are an active area of research for many labs, but the approach that Shah and his colleagues have taken is unique.

Cancer cells are scary and an enemy to good health, but US researchers have found a way to make them friendly as potent, anti-cancer agents. In the latest study on lab rodents by Dr. Khalid Shah at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Massachusetts, the investigators have developed a new cell therapy approach, creating a vaccine to eliminate established tumors and induce long-term immunity, training the immune system so that it can prevent cancer from recurring.

The team tested their dual-action, cancer-killing vaccine in an advanced mouse model of the deadly brain cancer glioblastoma, with promising results. Findings have just been published in Science Translational Medicine under the title “Bifunctional cancer cell-based vaccine concomitantly drives direct tumor killing and antitumor immunity.”
