New killer T-cell discovery could open up cancer treatment to all
A new type of killer T-cell could serve as “one-size-fits-all” cancer therapy.
Researchers at Cardiff University in Wales discovered a different kind of T-cell receptor (TCR)—one that recognizes and kills most human cancer cells while ignoring healthy ones.
The early-stage findings, published this week in the journal Nature Immunology, have not yet been tested in patients. But the team said they have “enormous potential.”
