BioNTech tests cancer vaccines

Ugur Sahin and Özlem Türeci reported by the BBC as the “husband and wife behind one of the most successful Covid vaccines” The couple co-founded the German bioς in 2008, “exploring a new technology involving messenger RNA (mRNA) for cancer therapy”.

And although they partnered with Pfizer to apply the same approach to the Covid vaccine, "doctors now hope it could lead to new treatments for melanoma, bowel cancer and other types of tumors."

BioNTech has many tests on , συμπεριλαμβανομένης και μιας όπου χορηγείται στους ασθενείς ένα εξατομικευμένο εμβόλιο, για να παρακινηθεί το ανοσοποιητικό τους σύστημα να επιτεθεί στη νόσο τους. Η τεχνολογία mRNA που χρησιμοποιείται λειτουργεί στέλνοντας μια οδηγία στα κύτταρα για την παραγωγή ενός αντιγόνου ή πρωτεΐνης. Στον Covid αυτό το αντιγόνο είναι μέρος της πρωτεΐνης ακίδας του ιού. Στον καρκίνο θα είναι ένας δείκτης που υπάρχει στην επιφάνεια των καρκινικών κυττάρων. Αυτό θα διδάσκει το ανοσοποιητικό σύστημα να αναγνωρίζει και να στοχεύει τα προσβεβλημένα κύτταρα για καταστροφή.

Speaking on BBC Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, Professor Tureci said: "The mRNA acts as a marker and allows us to tell the body to produce the drug or vaccine... in this case cancer antigens that distinguish cancer cells from normal ones. normal cells".

Harnessing the power of mRNA to produce vaccines was not proven until Covid. But the “success” (our “ours”) of mRNA vaccines in the pandemic has encouraged scientists to test the technology in cancer.

The Guardian reports that vaccines targeting cancer could be available “before 2030”, although Özlem Türeci warns that “As scientists we are always hesitant to say that we will have a cure for cancer. We have a number of discoveries and we will continue to work with them."
Η BioNTech εργαζόταν σε εμβόλια mRNA κατά του καρκίνου πριν από την εμφάνιση της πανδημίας, αλλά στράφηκε στην παραγωγή εμβολίων Covid ενόψει της παγκόσμιας έκτακτης ανάγκης. Η currently has several cancer vaccines in clinical trials.
