Cutting-edge Medicine: Getting Immune Cells To Kill Immune Cells Can Actually Shrink Solid Tumours!

CAR-T therapy is a cellular immunotherapy treatment that has become very popular in recent years. This therapy uses genetic engineering techniques to upgrade the patient's immune T cells in vitro, before entering the body to exert a powerful anti-cancer effect. Currently, CAR-T therapy has performed very well in blood cancers such as lymphoma and leukaemia.

Important Target For Novel NK Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Identified!

In the last decade, the introduction of several immune checkpoint inhibitors such as CTLA-4/PD-1/PD-L1 and other immune drugs such as Keytruda and Opdivo have marked a major advance in cancer treatment by "liberating" immune T cells and giving them back their ability to attack cancer cells. However, previous data shows that only 10-30% of patients have a good outcome with these immunotherapies

New Research: Cracking The Targeted Drug Resistance Puzzle And Eliminating Cancer Cells Before They Evolve!

Many lung cancer patients will be detected by genetic testing to carry an EGFR mutation, and these patients can often control their tumours with EGFR-targeted drugs. Although targeted drugs are effective and have fewer side effects than chemotherapy, resistance to them inevitably occurs, after which they no longer work.

New Strategies For Cancer Vaccines: Transforming Cancer Cells So They Can Become Cancer-Fighters Is Not Far Away!

In recent years, scientists have begun to look at "transforming" cancer cells from life-threatening bad actors to help fight cancer.
