A Groundbreaking Moment in Cancer Research: World’s First Lung Cancer mRNA Vaccine Enters Human Trials 🧬💉 In a historic leap for oncology, scientists have officially launched the world’s first clinical trial of an mRNA vaccine for lung cancer—a potential game-changer in the fight against one of the deadliest cancers worldwide. Developed by BioNTech, the biotech firm behind one of the pioneering COVID-19 vaccines, the new vaccine—BNT116—is specifically designed to combat non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which accounts for about 85% of all lung cancer cases. Unlike traditional treatments, BNT116 works by teaching the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells, and to help prevent the cancer from coming back. If successful, it could redefine how we treat—and possibly even prevent—advanced lung cancer. The Phase 1 clinical trial is currently underway at 34 sites across seven countries, including the UK, United States, and Germany, marking a major milestone in personalized cancer immunotherapy. 🔬 Source: BioNTech via BioNTech Official Press Release #LungCancerVaccine #BioNTech #mRNAtechnology #CancerResearch #NSCLC #CancerTreatment #MedicalBreakthrough #Immunotherapy #BNT116 #LungCancerAwareness #ScienceNews #ClinicalTrials

Bangladesh has launched its first-ever national Skin Bank at the National Institute of Burn and Plastic Surgery in Dhaka, offering a new lifeline for burn victims. With technical support from Singapore General Hospital, this facility has already collected over 4,500 sq cm of skin from 7 donors—mainly from discarded skin during obesity and hernia surgeries. Three successful transplants have already been carried out, offering critically needed treatment to patients like 8-year-old Mariam. Doctors say the bank could significantly reduce fatalities by protecting burn wounds, preventing infection, and preserving vital fluids. Stored at –90°C, donor skin can be preserved for up to five years. Plans are underway to expand collection from deceased donors in the future, further enhancing this life-saving resource. #thechronify #SkinBank #BurnTreatment #MedicalBreakthrough #HealthcareBangladesh #DhakaNews #PlasticSurgery #HealthInnovation #PublicHealth #LifeSavingCare
