Skin cancer: Vaccine could bolster defences against UV radiation

0

The vaccine proposed by Indra and his colleagues would utilise mRNA, the same mechanism of multiple Coronavirus vaccines.

Messenger RNA instructs cells to produce more of a particular protein, in this case the antioxidant enzyme TR1.

Professor Indra said: “Following uptake of the mRNA into the cell and the cell’s machinery going to work, the cell should be at a high antioxidant level and able to take care of oxidative stress and DNA damage arising from ultraviolet radiation.

“People at increased risk of skin cancer, such as those who work outside in sunny climates, could ideally be vaccinated once a year.”
