Nobel Prize-winning chemist CarolynBertozzi tells karaswisher why cancer cells are a lot like M&Ms
and so on, and they talked about DNA and RNA. And you’ve maybe had people talk about proteins. So there’s a fourth important biological molecule. Those are the sugars, but nobody was talking about them.Because it was the dark matter — no one really knew much about them. And they were difficult to study because you couldn’t see them.
For example, when we discover that these sugars are contributing to diseases, and we wanna make medicines to treat those diseases based on that learning, we have to convince people that, even though they’ve never heard of sugars before, sugars are really important in biology and they should invest in making new medicines that target them. So I think just educating people about this new area of biology is our rock that we have to push up the hill.
So if the cancer tries to sneak back, your immune system’s ready to go to kill it again, just the way that we get vaccinated against something and our immune system remembers that for a long time. So if you can do that for cancer, you could potentially cure the disease with your immune system.Meaning your immune system understands it, sees it, and kills it rather than externalized ways to treat it.
