Scientists have developed a new type of mRNA cancer vaccine that wakes up the immune system to fight tumors that usually ignore treatment. Instead of focusing on one specific cancer marker, this vaccine tricks the body into thinking it’s under viral attack. This puts the immune system on high alert, helping it spot and destroy hidden tumor cells more effectively. The vaccine works by boosting type-I interferons, natural proteins that kickstart the immune defense when the body senses viruses. Usi
