Experimental Nanoparticle “Super-Vaccines” Stop Breast, Pancreatic, And Skin Cancers In Their Tracks

Up to 88 percent of the mice in the study remained tumor-free, and the team are now turning their attention to human cancers.

UMass Nanoparticle Vaccine Prevents Aggressive Cancers in Mice

In a breakthrough that has captured the attention of oncologists and biotech investors alike, researchers have unveiled a nanoparticle-based vaccine capable of preventing multiple aggressive cancers in preclinical models. Led by Prabhani Atukorale at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, the team engineered a delivery system that encapsulates cancer-specific antigens alongside a potent “super adjuvant,” effectively training the immune system …
