The New Frontier of Immunotherapy: Reprogramming the Body to Fight Cancer For decades, vaccines have relied on adjuvants—substances added to a vaccine to create a stronger immune response. However, traditional adjuvants often provide only short-lived stimulation. A groundbreaking shift is now occurring, moving away from external triggers toward “reprogramming” the immune system from the inside … Read more
