#CPMV

A new study reveals that a simple plant virus—known as the cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV)—could revolutionize cancer treatment by training the human immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells, according to research led by chemical and nano engineers at the University of California San Diego and published in Cell Biomaterials. Unlike traditional immunotherapies, CPMV stands out for its natural origins and unique effectiveness, demonstrating the potential to provide a cost-effective, sustainable approach to fighting cancer both in preclinical studies and potentially in future human trials (ScienceDaily).
