El grupo de investigación (Universidad de Sichuan) sacará células blancas de gente con un determinado tipo de cáncer de pulmón y las editará con CRISPR para que persigan las células cancerosas una vez re-inyectadas.
Hay que seguir buscando terapias más efectivas contra el cancer. La "vacuna" cubana parece que funciona bastante bien en cancer pulmonar avanzado, con efectos secunadarios leves, pero no es la panacea:
"The trial results also showed that people younger than 60 did better than those who were over 60. There were 12 people under 60 who had a good immune response and their improvement in survival was greatest – they lived on average for just over 15 months compared to 7.4 months for people who didn’t have the vaccine. Do remember that this is a small group – 12 is really too small a number to draw any firm conclusions."
#8 En general los medicamento contra el cancer te da unos meses más de vida ... Ojo, estoy generalizando muchisimo. El cancer son muchas enfermedades distintas.
De todas formas, se sigue avanzando.
"An estimated 4.7 million males died from cancer worldwide in 2012. Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer death, accounting for around a quarter (24%) of cancer deaths in males. Liver, stomach, bowel and prostate cancers are the remaining four of the five most common causes of cancer death in males worldwide, accounting for 11%, 10%, 8% and 7% of the male total, respectively.[1]"

¿Pero no habían desarrollado ya una vacuna en Cuba?

#7 Vamos, que la "vacuna" cubana solo te da 7 meses más de vida

#7 CRISPR es prometedor porque una vacuna que te alarga la
vidaagonía 15 meses, chungo.#12 CRISPR en particular y la terapia génica en general son muy prometedores, pero aun están en panales. Aunque empieza a haber resultados:

(Aquí usaron TALEN en lugar de CRISPR, pero el fin es el mismo)
Entramos en una nueva era. A partir de ahora nace el homo editatus.
¿Está bien usado eso de batallar?
#4 bregar (‖ luchar con los riesgos para superarlos).
No a los humanos transgénicos!
