'Platform' could spur development of new vaccines, scientists say - UPI.com
UPI reports: "Researchers in Denmark have created a 'platform' for vaccines that
mimics the structure of a virus, which they say could speed up the
process and make it easier to create effective vaccines.
The virus-like structure, to which harmless parts of viruses can be
attached, aids in provoking an immune response [...] The researchers also report their virus-like structure can motivate the
immune system to attack its own cells, potentially allowing for the
treatment of cancer and other diseases that are not caused by pathogens."
