A recent study published on July 18, 2025 in the review Biomedical Engineering nature shows surprising and convincing results for the future development of a universal vaccine intended to fight cancer.
By developing a messenger RNA vaccine (mRNA), researchers who expressed their observations in the study have noticed that it was possible to stimulate more than reason, the immune system of individuals with cancer cells.
“” “This study describes a very unexpected and exciting observation: even a vaccine that is not specific to a particular tumor or virus, provided that it is a mRNA vaccine, could have specific effects on tumors“Said Elias Sayour, co -author of the study, in a press release from theUniversity of Florida.
What he explains here is that the mRNM vaccine, used on rodents, made it possible to “wake up the immune system“Sick individuals. Thus, the immune defenses of rodents began to fight cancer as if it were a virus.
“” “This discovery proves that these vaccines could potentially be marketed as universal cancer vaccines in order to make the immune system against the individual tumor of a patient”Continued the researcher at the microphone of the university establishment.
“Kill cancer”
True evil of our century, research against cancer is one of the most important axes of medicine worldwide.
If, as the study published on July 18, 2025 demonstrates, the discovery of Sayour and its teams is an additional step as a past for the future development of a vaccine, the future could potentially see cancer disappear as many diseases.
And for the time being, the results are more than convincing. Indeed, in some cases where the mRNA vaccine was transmitted to rodents, the researchers were able to observe a pure and simple elimination of tumors.
However, it is indeed only a step. Now that researchers have been able to highlight their discoveries and conclusions with regard to a possible cancer vaccine, clinical trials will have to be organized on patients … Humans this time.
According to Duane Mitchell, also the study co -author, the results of the study really go in the direction of a possible development of a vaccine capable of activating the immune system which could, alone or in duet with certain other drugs, be capable of “kill cancer”.
Only the future and future studies will tell us if a world without cancer can really be considered.
