The pandemic shows that the mRNA technique, which has been studied for a long time, can be revolutionary. “Thanks to the covid pandemic, everything has accelerated, the major biotech companies are back in search of an mRNA cancer vaccine,” says Anguille.
This mRNA technique acts as a kind of messenger for the body. For example, the mRNA technique can send signals to the body to build typical spine proteins of the COVID-19 virus in the body. The body then immediately produces antibodies to break down the spinal protein. In this way, the vaccine trains the body to quickly recognize and destroy these spinal proteins in the future as well. And that way you are better protected than before.
In the case of corona, a virus that settles into the body from the outside, the technology seems to work well. All corona vaccines on the market use the technique. But why has this technique had a breakthrough in the case of coronavirus, but not yet in the case of cancer?
