Cancer Vaccine From Stem Cells

A new vaccine has been discovered by the researchers from Stanford University using stem cells that have proven effective against breast, lung and skin cancer in mice. Ana Sandoiu wrote an article that was fact-checked by Jasmin Collier. They turned to induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), which are stem cells generated from adult cells.

The Japanese-based scientists showed over a decade ago that adult cells can be genetically reprogrammed to behave in the same way as pluripotent stem cells. They can take any shape or function and can specialize in whatever type of cell the body needs.
