Arming T-cells to channel aggression against cancer
Scientists have armed immune cells with a new surface molecule that causes them to respond aggressively when they encounter a protein that tumours actually use to camouflage themselves from the immune system. Researchers from the Helmholtz Zentrum München and various partners introduced the method in ‘Cancer Research’.
