Every once in a while, medical researchers simply have a stroke of good luck. In this case, that "stroke of good luck" could have a profound effect on the medial community.
Researchers at Cardiff University that were in the midst of analyzing blood from a bank accidentally stumbled into an "entirely new type of T-cell", according to The Daily Wire. The new cell carries a "never before seen" type of receptor that acts like a grappling hook, latching on to most human cancers.
Prior therapies, called CAR-T and TCR-T, which use immune cells to attach to HLA molecules on cancer cells' surface, are incapable of fighting solid tumors, the article notes. HLA molecules vary in people, but the new therapy instead attaches to a molecule called MR1, which does not vary in humans. This gives the therapy a chance of fighting most cancers.
It also means people could share the treatment, which could allow banks of cells to be stored and offered quickly, as needed.
The treatment has already worked on lung, skin, blood, colon, breast, bone, prostate, ovarian, kidney and cervical cancer cells. The study stated:
Human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-independent, T cell-mediated targeting of cancer cells would allow immune destruction of malignancies in all individuals. Here, we use genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 screening to establish that a T cell receptor recognized and killed most human cancer types via the monomorphic MHC class-I related protein, MR1, while remaining inert to noncancerous cells … These finding offer opportunities for HLA-independent, pan-cancer, pan-population immunotherapies.

Throwing casting couch, social climbing, divorced sluts out of your country?...
Quick! Patent the gene so nobody can use it!
Then make billions! Profits!
We complain about free speech...but freerepublic bans certain sites????
Researchers have made this discovery a part of the public domain. If they haven’t patented it, it can be used freely by anyone.
Well that took 2 and a half minutes of my life to get but then I burst out laughing :)

Here’s the search: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/search?s=cancer&ok=Search&q=quick&m=any&o=time
I think sites are banned here for only a very few reasons:
That will be snuffed out quickly. Too many institutions making money off of medicine/treatment.
As long as I make one person laugh. :)
Gee, I wonder how long it will be before somebody misplaces it.
I think eventually there will be a cure for cancer(s), but whether anyone gets it is of course entire dependent of what we elect into office. For example if Hillary was POTUS and the Rats controlled both houses, that’s a hell of a lot of money that has to be paid off to them before a cure can even be suggested as existing and then their family members would have to be taken care of, a lot of board positions would have to be filled. Who would have the money to do all that? Remember, this would have to be done BEFORE any profit came in from the cancer cure because Democraps ALWAYS come first.
lol
i was in a pretty foul mood too.
That took me out of it :)
I had to look online to see if she had been divorced lol
Then I knew who you were referring to :)
The pharmaceutical companies will buy it, then bury it. They don’t want a cure for cancer.
Like gas free cars the patent bought up by big oil and shelved. This to will be bought up by big pharma and shelved
Great... cancer is cured but 98% of the human race will be killed by coronavirus in the next year. Talk about bad timing.
Right, members of those institutions would rather they and their families die of cancer than find a cure - and of course there are no other diseases from which they could profit by treating.
Now they'll claim it was another muzzie accomplishment that saved the world .... Ollie's Snak Bar !
