GAINESVILLE, Fla - Scientists have conducted breakthrough research that could lead to a universal cancer vaccine, revolutionizing how the disease is treated.

What we know:

The study by University of Florida researchers used an experimental messenger RNA, similar to the protein-synthesizing technology in COVID-19 vaccines, to see how the immune system would respond to tumors.

What's notable is that the mRNA was engineered as a generalized vaccine and not designed to target any specific virus or mutated cancer cells.

‘Surprising’ findings

The findings from the mouse-model study surprised even the researchers, who discovered that the test vaccine served to "wake up" the immune system to work to fight the tumor.

What they're saying:

The results from the years-long study were "unexpe
