Japanese Scientists use artificial DNA to target and kill cancer cells

[BackInTheGame78]

Between this, mRNA vaccines used to target cancer cells specifically and a few other new methods that are in development, chemo and deaths from cancer may soon be a thing of the past. Literally at this point every 6 months a cancer patient can stay alive, their odds of being cured grow exponentially as these get closer and closer to human trials and then eventually widespread use.

Japanese scientists successfully use artificial DNA to kill cancer cells

Japanese scientists have developed a groundbreaking approach to fighting cancer through the use of artificial DNA. About the study: The study, published in the Journal of the American Chemical Societ...

I hope more comes of this than most CRISPR fixes, but it's a start in the right direction.

Let's just hope the medicine isn't worse than the disease.

Unfortunately there will likely be some unintended effects for the first few years at least once they go into use but unfortunately that's the price of progress...the early adopters have to accept they will essentially be guinea pigs.

Here is another one that is about enter clinical trials...a drug that targets mutated protein cells on solid cancer tumors and destroys them while leaving healthy cells intact...effective in at least 70 types of cancer...

About to enter the Golden Age of cancer treatments.

‘Cancer-stopping’ drug ‘annihilates’ solid tumours

A new “cancer-stopping” drug has been found to “annihilate” solid cancerous tumours in early stage studies.

I watched that but didn't pay very close attention...think it was playing in the background while I was doing something else...remember bits and pieces, what are you referring to from it?

In the movie a scientist created a cure for cancer by re-programming the measles virus to attack cancer cells. And it ended up wiping out 90% of humans instantly and turning almost all of the remaining into zombies. I know it’s just a 15 year old move but why are we still tinkering with playing god?

Hi BackIntheGame,
"....About to enter the Golden Age of cancer treatments." Maybe in Time for Folk in enlightened Lands with free Universal Health Care...For you?Don't hold your breath...Big Pharma will appropriate it,your Health Funds will view it as Experimental and Only the 1% will have access!

In the places with universal health care the ridiculous wait times for those treatments will mean those people will be dead before they get them...

There is a reason why countless Canadians come to the US to have procedures done and pay out of pocket rather than wait forever in Canada to have them done.

Hi BackinTheGame,
Didn't know Canada had free Medical...Britain,Australia and N.Z. do ...here 20+ years ago one of my Boys had Bone Marrow Leukemia,given 2.5 months to live,he used travel by Ambulance to Sydney for cutting edge treatment which cost about a million Bucks...We paid nothing,no delays they even organised accomodation for me and another Son...12+years ago I had Bi-Lateral Hip Prosthetics,they did make me wait a year but the same story for12 Thousand Bucks of treatment...Interesting to hear from our UK and Kiwi Brothers.

That is standard medical triage. Long wait times are for non-critical care aka elective procedures. Also, 90% of Canadians live within 100 miles of the US border. I bet it is cheaper for the Canadian government to not invest in elective medical services.

In the US everyone pays for the uninsured too, just on the back end through higher premiums. If someone is treated and can't pay the bill, they can't get blood from a stone so everyone else pays. Having lived under both types of systems I've found universal coverage to be more efficient generally, though for routine treatment there are long waits if you don't carry a private policy.

Mostly it's the people in good health that take care of their health paying for the fat ass obese people sucking down Big Mac's and Fettuccine Alfredo like there is no tomorrow and the ones smoking.

At least now smokers have to pay extra in premiums for most companies but they still haven't done that for obese people yet, simply giving bonuses for those who pass yearly fitness tests sometimes.
