"π¬ The M7 Reflection: How Mayos Protocol Quietly Validated $NWBO s DCVax Immune Platform What Looked Like Innovation Was Actually Confirmation Section 1: What Is the M7 Protocol The M7 protocol is Mayo Clinics most advanced and effective method for generating mature immunostimulatory dendritic cells (DCs) from glioblastoma (GBM) patient monocytes. It was developed after empirically testing seven different culture conditions (M1 through M7) to solve a critical problem: monocytes from GBM patients are often immunosuppressed and tend to yield immature or dysfunctional DCs when standard methods" @andrewcaravello on X 2025-07-17 19:54:48 UTC 1070 followers, 3926 engagements
"$NWBO π¦ Whats Left Probably Just the Label And Thats Not a Small Thing When youre tracking the progress of an advanced therapy like #DCVax-L its tempting to think in binary terms: is it approved yet or not But when you get to the very end of a regulatory review especially for a personalized cell therapy the question isnt just if its approved. Its: what exactly are we approving And what does that mean in real world terms Thats where labeling comes in. Lets unpack it. π§Ύ What Is a Drug Label Really In regulatory language the label isnt just the sticker on the box.

"$NWBO Can the July 2025 Review Be Cited as Evidence for DCVax-L π§ πβ
Yes once this review is formally published (even as a preprint as it is now) it becomes a citable academic source in the scientific and clinical community. This is a meaningful shift. ππ¬ What this means: Prior to this: People could cite the original JAMA Oncology 2022 publication on the DCVax-L trial but they could not cite any independent academic source that placed DCVax-L side by side with other standard immunotherapies such as checkpoint inhibitors or TTFields in a formal clinical review or comparison framework. βπ" @andrewcaravello on X 2025-07-14 14:26:34 UTC 1069 followers, 2616 engagements

"$NWBO 𧬠DCVax for Narcissism A Thought Experiment on Immune Calibration and Self-Obsession Narcissism is not classified as an immune disorder but maybe it should be. At its core narcissism is the pathological over-recognition of the self. It is a psychological state where the internal signal of me is amplified beyond all proportion often at the expense of empathy regulation or external truth. Now consider what dendritic cells do. Dendritic cells are immune instructors. Their job is to distinguish self from non-self and to train the immune system to respond appropriately.

"$NWBO π§ͺ From Transition States to Drug Design: The Original Spark In classical chemistry the transition state is the fleeting high-energy configuration a molecule passes through when converting from reactant to product. It is the point of maximum instability where bonds are neither fully broken nor fully formed.

"Great question and you are right to sense that this sits somewhere between $NWBO DCVax-L and Direct in format. In the Mayo trial they used autologous dendritic cells meaning each patients own immune cells were collected via leukapheresis. But instead of harvesting tumor tissue from each patient like in DCVax-L they pulsed those dendritic cells with a pooled tumor lysate library made from surgically resected glioblastoma tumors donated by other patients. That lysate was processed under GMP conditions into a standardized cryopreserved product. It was almost certainly manufactured and stored by" @andrewcaravello on X 2025-07-17 17:31:54 UTC 1070 followers, XXX engagements
