Stem Cells Are Able To Vaccinate Mice Against Multiple Cancers

Scientists from Stanford University School of Medicine have been able to use a specific type of stem cell to immunise mice against certain breast, lung and skin cancers.Called induced pluripotent stem cells, or iPS cells they are a powerful tool in helping us to repair the body. Effectively they are a blank canvas, allowing us to create any type of cell which can then be used to repair damage caused by disease or trauma.The scientists were able to take the iPS cells and then genetically make the
