A hidden immune backup system could supercharge mRNA cancer vaccines

Researchers have uncovered a previously unknown mechanism behind mRNA cancer vaccines, according to ScienceDaily. The vaccines recruit an unexpected immune cell that mounts powerful tumor-fighting responses—a finding that challenges long-held assumptions about how the treatments work. If these results hold, scientists say the discovery could lead to more effective cancer vaccines and help oncologists tailor approaches to individual patients.
