New T-cell cancer treatment lab tests successful
Posted by freedomforall 4 years, 3 months ago to Science
T-cells have "receptors" on their surface that allow them to "see" at a chemical level.
The Cardiff team discovered a T-cell and its receptor that could find and kill a wide range of cancerous cells in the lab including lung, skin, blood, colon, breast, bone, prostate, ovarian, kidney and cervical cancer cells.
Crucially, it left normal tissues untouched.

We are at least 10 years away from practical implementation.
