Possibility of vaccine to prevent skin cancer

 Researchers in the Singapore have created a prototype vaccine that might be able to prevent skin cancer. They conducted an experiment on mice that involved the vaccination of 30 female mice with higher risk of developing melanoma. The results of the experiment were positive and promising, showing a 78% decrease in the number of skin tumors.

A new vaccine for skin cancer made from a patient's own skin could be developed, according to scientists. The vaccine offers hope to the 9,200 people diagnosed each year with skin cancer. The best way to prevent skin cancer is to protect your skin from the sun, but the most serious cases of the disease remain difficult to treat. Researchers have now developed a vaccine that trains the immune system to fight off melanoma.

A vaccine aimed at preventing skin cancer, the most common type of cancer in the United States, is very powerful in mice and is moving toward clinical trials for people, according to a new study.  A single vaccine shot may one day offer long-term protection against skin cancer, a new mouse study suggests. The researchers found that the vaccine stimulated an immune system response that provided 100 percent protection against melanoma — the deadliest form of skin cancer — in laboratory mice…

Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States and worldwide. Melanoma is less common but causes more deaths than the other forms of skin cancer. Currently, surgery is the most effective treatment for melanoma that has not spread to lymph nodes or organs. An experimental vaccine may provide longer survival after surgery for patients with high risk melanoma.

An insulin patch that sticks inside a person’s cheek

  A new insulin patch aims to help people with diabetes eliminate injections by sticking inside their cheek. The only catch: It won’t be available for a few years and humans must first test it out on the backs of pigs. Medics develop insulin patch that sticks inside a person's cheek. Able to deliver blood-sugar lowering drug for up to 16 hours, no jabbing required.' This insulin patch sticks inside a person’s cheek so doesn’t require the frequent injections of traditional insulin treatments . The patch works especially well for diabetics who want to avoid constant needle pricks, and would also allow them not to have to carry around syringes or frequently reach for drugs when they’re out and about.

Google and Mozilla are ready for Chrome and Firefox version 100 to break some websites

 Google and Mozilla engineers have already planned for Chrome and Firefox version 100 to break some web sites, with both companies saying that it's time to clean up the mess that's been made. Chrome 89, which ships in early March, will remove support for the "window.showModalDialog" DOM API, which is an ancient piece of code from 1998 that conflicts with Web standards and exists only for compatibility with Microsoft's aging Internet Explorer browser.  The next time you see a badly broken website, you might just have to send an angry email to its webmaster . With the release of Chrome 100 and Firefox 93 on Tuesday, Google and Mozilla are removing features from their browsers that some websites still use to hide text from visitors. This means when those sites haven’t updated their code , they will show the “hidden” content — usually because the site ignored their visitor's requests for a more accessible design. Looks like Chrome and Firefox are just around a ma...

Breast Cancer Kyu Hota Hai

 Breast cancer is a global health issue that can no longer be ignored. Substantial support for breast cancer awareness and research funding has helped created advances in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. Breast cancer survival rates have increased, and the number of deaths associated with this disease is steadily declining, largely due to factors such as earlier detection, a new personalized approach to treatment and a better understanding of the disease. This year, many people will be diagnosed with breast cancer. The good news is that advances like earlier detection, new treatment and a better understanding of the disease, have helped survival rates improve tremendously over the past few decades.  The American Cancer Society is attacking breast cancer from every angle. We're funding groundbreaking research and fighting for federal policies that help protect people from the disease, helping people get well through support and services, speaking out on importan...
