Recently, teachers Ugur Shahin as well as Ozlem TurekGerman company founders BioNTekannounced that they are exploring new technologies that use messenger RNA (mRNA) to treat cancer. Last Sunday (16) scientists found that company’s vaccines for cancer treatment will be available for use until 2030.

It is worth remembering that in partnership with a pharmaceutical company pfizerBioNTech is one of those responsible for immunization COVID-19.
Researchers hope the new vaccine could lead to new treatments for melanoma, bowel cancer and other tumors, according to the BBC. The company notes that it is testing several treatments, including one in which patients will receive a vaccine to boost their immune systems to fight the disease. This technology promises to send instructions to cells to produce an antigen or protein.

How will the treatment work?
After demonstrating the effectiveness and success of messenger RNA (mRNA) technology against Covid-19, a new treatment for patients diagnosed with cancer will have a customizable formula. According to scientists, studies using BioNTech’s mRNA tests for cancer began before the pandemic and showed positive results.
Dr. Ozlem Turechi said: “MRNA acts as a template and allows you to order the body to make a drug or a vaccine… and when you use mRNA as a vaccine, the mRNA is the template for the wanted poster of the enemy – in this case, cancer. antigens that distinguish cancer cells from normal cells.
“Every step, every patient we treat in our cancer research helps us learn more about what we are facing and how to deal with it. As scientists, we are always hesitant to say that we will have a cure for cancer. . on them”, added. Turichi.

Legal dispute over mRNA vaccines
Despite everything, there legal dispute continues with the technology behind mRNA vaccines, this is because the company Modern filed a lawsuit against Pfizer and BioNTech for patent infringement. Briefly, Moderna claims that key elements of its mRNA technology have been copied by companies.
Professor Ugur Sahin, who is also the CEO of BioNTech, said that the innovations are original and that scientists have spent 20 years researching to develop treatments.
