USC scientists discover how to create a never-ending supply of cancer-fighting cells
Curated by Kripa
Perspective
I’m cautious about treating this as a permanent cure; I wonder whether the continuously produced immune cells will stay effective over the long term.
Source summary
USC scientists have discovered a way to create a potentially renewable supply of genetically engineered immune cells that can attack cancer and strengthen the body's natural defenses. By growing and modifying immature immune cells rather than mature ones, researchers developed a system that can continuously produce tumor-fighting cells inside the body.
