Scientists used a new method to screen 10,000 combinations of gene edits in immune cells engineered to fight cancer
/PRNewswire/ -- In recent years, scientists have used gene modification technologies to reprogram immune cells into therapeutics that can attack cancers. But...
T cells used in immunotherapy treatments can get exhausted and shut down by fighting cancer cells and tumors. Using a CRISPR-based edit on these cells’ genomes, researchers at UCSF and Gladstone Institutes have rendered the therapeutic cells more resilient against tumors.
