DESCRIPTION
Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed an experimental vaccine that could prevent the spread of metastatic cancers to the lungs. The key ingredients of the vaccine are nanoparticles—fashioned from bacterial viruses—that have been engineered to target a protein known to play a central role in cancer growth and spread.
