Didnt they "cure" brain cancer with similar treatment like 5 years ago? You read stories like this and then 5 years from now people are still dying. Ill pay mind to this stuff when its actually being used to save lives. Funny thing is if it ever gets to that point it'll likely be only for those who can afford it.
Yes, the media loves embellishing research findings. Pre-clinical research like this often hits dead ends, e.g. doesn't work in the actual living body. And with immunotherapy especially, there can be deadly side effects because the drugs are so powerful.
Pitt has a massive, massive multi-billion dollar medical center/health network, whereas UConn has a single ~300 bed hospital in Farmington, so it's really hard to compare. In terms of biomedical research funding/prestige Pitt is a heavy hitter, and there tends to be a lot of "rich getting richer" in terms of where the NIH funds go. That's what makes it so hard for UConn to recruit well-funded professors or for existing UConn profs to get the really big grants.
Pitt's been playing the game a long time. Jonas Salk was at Pitt when he developed the first polio vaccine over 60 years ago.
But do they have the dairy bar?
Did it work? I mean who ever hears of polio anymore or even knows someone who has it.
I think that’s the point lol
You'd be better off with pics of Troutman and Krauser.
