Engineering T cells to attack cancer broadly
E-Mail IMAGE: Control mice (left panel) with prostate cancer show large areas of metastasis in the lungs (blue). When a subset of animals were treated with unmodified T cells (middle panel), the... view more Credit: Shawn Wang, Ph.D. Through T cell engineering, researchers at Virginia Commonwealth University Massey Cancer Center show that it's possible to arrest tumor growth for a variety of cancers and squash the spread of cancer to other tissues. This research will be published in tomorrow's print edition of Cancer Research. The paper builds on decades of research by study co-...
