Nanoparticles reprogram immune cells to fight cancer

Researchers at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center have developed biodegradable nanoparticles that can be used to genetically program immune cells to recognize and demolish cancer cells—while the immune cells are still inwards the figure.

In a proof-of-principle examine to be published April seventeen in Nature Nanotechnology, the team displayed that nanoparticle-programmed immune cells, known as T cells, can rapidly clear or slow the progression of leukemia in a mouse model. Read more
