October 14, 2025 Iniulat ng AI

Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have developed a nanoparticle-based cancer vaccine that prevented melanoma, pancreatic, and triple-negative breast cancers in mice. Up to 88% of vaccinated mice remained tumor-free, with the vaccine also stopping metastasis. The approach uses a 'super adjuvant' to trigger strong immune responses.
