... in mice.

Don't get me wrong, it's encouraging to see research in this field progressing. But there is a long list of treatments that work in mice that do not work in humans.

I'll temper my enthusiasm with a healthy dose of pragmatism.

Of course it is in mice. If they were in the human testing phase, you would have read about it long before on HN!

But the title "inadvertently" forgets to mention that the "universal cancer vaccine" is not universal, not a vaccine, and does not cure cancer unless you're a rodent.

So, of course it gets to the HN front page, because the title is so catchy !

I guess the only way to make it go to the front page faster would have be to label the article : "MIT alumni-founded, Standford-based, YC-funded startup creates universal cancer vaccine with AI, in Rust"
