Will Russia's cancer vaccine make waves?

-

At the end of 2024, there is very promising news coming from Russia. Russia has announced that it has developed an effective vaccine against cancer. Here you can find information about it.


In February 2024, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that they were developing a cancer vaccine. However, by December, all the work on the vaccine is completed and it will be made available to the public in early 2025 after clinical trials, Andrei Kaprin, a representative of the Russian Ministry of Health and head of the Radiology Medical Research Center, shared with Russian media.

Russia claims that in the first trials, it was possible to significantly slow down the growth of cancer and reduce the size of the tumor by 75% to 80%. The report also states that this vaccine can prevent metastasis, that is, prevent the second occurrence of cancer. In addition, the other day, Alexander Gindsburg, the head of the Gamaleya National Research Center, a research center that developed the Sputnik vaccine during the Covid period, released more information about this vaccine.

He said that this is not a preventive vaccine like the Covid vaccine. When we say preventive vaccine, we mean a vaccine that protects against illness; that is, the mission of preventive vaccines is to prepare the body to fight against it by introducing the genetic structure of pathogens into a person's body before the disease occurs. But this vaccine is not a preventive vaccine, but rather, we are supplying this vaccine to a person who has become ill. He also said that this is a personalized vaccine, meaning that each vaccine dose is made for each person according to their genetic structure.

When you hear this, sometimes you wonder, isn't it a big process and won't it take a lot of time? A sample of cancer cells is collected from a cancer patient, the genetic structure in that sample is converted into vaccine molecules in about an hour through AI neural network computations, and that vaccine molecule is supplied back to the patient's body. The vaccine, which has the same genetic structure as the inactive cancer cell that has entered the body, prepares the patient's body to defend itself against the cancer cell. Thus, the cytotoxic lymphocytes in that person's body accurately destroy the cancer cells.


It takes approximately 3 lakh rubles to produce one dose of this vaccine. That is, when converted to Indian money, it comes to approximately two and a half lakh rupees. Here comes the next announcement by the Russian Ministry of Health; they intend to distribute this vaccine completely free of charge. An announcement has just been made that gives a lot of comfort and hope to the people of the world. Stay tuned for more updates on this and we'll be back with more interesting science topics.

The 2025 Nobel Prizes in Physics have been announced. John Clarke and Michael Deboret, as well as John Martinis, who developed ‘macroscopic quantum tunneling’, shared the Nobel Prize this time. They have received the Nobel Prize in 2025 for the experiments conducted by these three together in the 1980s. What is that one experiment worthy of a Nobel Prize? What is Macroscopic Quantum Tunneling? That is what we are going to discuss today.  You can watch video explanation in malayalam language here If you are reading this article for academic purposes then you can skip this article. Because many of the things that are going to be said will have to be presented in a simplified way that anyone can understand. If you want to study this subject academically or in a more deep and technical way, you can read a very detailed description of it on the Nobel Prize website : Link   What is quantum mechanics? We have made many laws with the knowledge we have acquired about our universe over ...

Schrödinger's Cat: The Quantum Paradox of Life and Death

-

  There is a dialogue by actor Mohanlal in the movie Pakal Nakshatrangal (Day Stars). “Does this world belong to the living or the dead? The number of the dead is so many times more than ours. Aren’t we, the currently living, merely earthworms before their collective strength? Let’s put that aside… What is the guarantee that we are truly alive? Couldn’t the real world… life… be theirs? What if we die and step into a new life…?”  Hearing the idea that we might step into another world after death may sound a bit philosophical, but there is a secret the universe has hidden within it. A hapless cat, teetering between life and death. What if the state of a radioactive particle determines the cat's life? Today, we are going to talk about Schrödinger's Cat, the simplest explanation of Quantum Theory—the scientific revolution of the twentieth century. 'Schrödinger’s Cat' is a Gedankenexperiment (Thought Experiment), meaning an experiment that can only be performed through thou...

SpaDeX Mission: India's Giant Leap in Space Technology

India has taken a monumental step forward in its space program with the SpaDeX (Space Docking Experiment) mission. Launched aboard the PSLV-C60 rocket, SpaDeX is a groundbreaking project aimed at demonstrating in-space docking, a technology critical for ambitious goals such as lunar exploration, sample return missions, and building a space station. With this mission, India is set to become the fourth nation in the world to master this advanced capability. The mission involves two small spacecraft, SDX01 (Chaser) and SDX02 (Target), each weighing 220 kilograms. Once deployed in a 470-kilometer circular orbit, these satellites will undergo a series of precise maneuvers designed to test the ability to rendezvous, dock, and undock in space. This achievement is pivotal for future missions requiring multiple rocket launches to assemble large structures or refuel spacecraft in orbit. The Mission in Detail After their launch and initial deployment, the two spacecraft will separate, with the Ta...
