- Abstract:
The article discusses various medical developments and innovations, along with their implications. Scientists at the Scripps Research Institute developed a vaccination technique that uses engineered chemical reactions to stimulate immune response. The drug class PARP inhibitor was found to have the capability of blocking specific enzymes in cancer cells that repair their own deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage. A study showed that an experimental cancer vaccine combined with Interleukin-2 reduces tumor size in patients with advanced melanoma.
