... in mice.
Don't get me wrong, it's encouraging to see research in this field progressing. But there is a long list of treatments that work in mice that do not work in humans.
I'll temper my enthusiasm with a healthy dose of pragmatism.
- amelius 1y agoOf course it is in mice. If they were in the human testing phase, you would have read about it long before on HN!
- phtrivier 1y agoBut the title "inadvertently" forgets to mention that the "universal cancer vaccine" is not universal, not a vaccine, and does not cure cancer unless you're a rodent. So, of course it gets to the HN front page, because the title is so catchy ! I guess the only way to make it go to the front page faster would have be to label the article : "MIT alumni-founded, Standford-based, YC-funded startup creates universal cancer vaccine with AI, in Rust"
