Reading about the cure is fascinating, and I can’t help but politicize my thoughts.
Can you imagine if backwater Arabs destroy the nation who might hold the cure for cancer?
It’s like a Damon Knight story.
Also, anyone who advocates for BDS, get in the back of the line for the cure. Idiots.
“We believe we will offer in a year’s time a complete cure for cancer.”
The potentially game-changing anti-cancer drug is based on SoAP technology, which belongs to the phage display group of technologies. It involves the introduction of DNA coding for a protein, such as an antibody, into a bacteriophage – a virus that infects bacteria. That protein is then displayed on the surface of the phage. Researchers can use these protein-displaying phages to screen for interactions with other proteins, DNA sequences and small molecules.
In 2018, a team of scientists won the Nobel Prize for their work on phage display in the directed evolution of new proteins – in particular, for the production of antibody therapeutics.
AEBi is doing something similar but with peptides, compounds of two or more amino acids linked in a chain. According to Morad, peptides have several advantages over antibodies, including that they are smaller, cheaper, and easier to produce and regulate.
The MuTaTo cancer treatment will eventually be personalized. Each patient will provide a piece of his biopsy to the lab, which would then analyze it to know which receptors are overexpressed. The individual would then be administered exactly the molecule cocktail needed to cure his disease.
However, unlike in the case of AIDS, where patients must take the cocktail throughout their lives, in the case of MuTaTo, the cells would be killed, and the patient could likely stop treatment after only a few weeks.
Hurry it up people. Chemo and radiation therapy are done. Now I have ten months of imunotherapy ahead of me.
I wish that there had been a cure for cancer after my wife died from leukemia 6 years ago. And for another friend who lost his wife of 40 years to Non Hodgkins lymphoma last fall. Cancer sucks!
cfm990 — God bless and keep you, friend. How are you doing?
This is one of the most promising breakthroughs in DNA science in a long time. Just imagine.
I suggest everyone keep a blood sample every year of their life, and when they develop cancer, compare the difference.
A LONG TIME AGO a doctor found that tumors would stretch out and grow. He used connective tissue from a meat processing plant, made a solution, and the tumor was actually fed, and didn’t grow, it started to shrink.
What happened to that technology?
Pharmaceutical hardest-hit,
We must all pray that Allah is OK with all this.
It’d be a darned shame to be cured of cancer but end up fatwah-ed by the barbarians.
Man are they going to piss off the AMA and Big Pharma.
And when this is perfected, the FDA will run clinical trials for 15 years before it’s approved for release.
What if the unintended side-effect is something like immortality?
Messing with DNA is messing with nature,……which is mocking God in my opinion.
Yes, cancer is a terrible disease. There is still a possible moral angle to this development however.
We better think about this. That’s all I’m saying.
“And when this is perfected, the FDA will run clinical trials for 15 years before it’s approved for release.”
President Trump has already stopped that – The Right To Try Bill signed into law. Media silent about it.

Justice would be to keep the cure from the anti Israel crowd.
Hopefully it doesn’t involve ground-up Palestinians or anything like that….
IF this works as well as they think it would cost big pharma billions, so FDA will make sure it doesn’t see the light of day in the US. My wife worked for a big pharma (one that has been all over the news for months) for a while. Her boss explained it very well, all the pharma companies are always paying some fine to FDA, that’s how the back scratching works, FDA plays ball then gets some kick back.
