Turbocharging the Killing Power of Immune Cells Against Cancer

Creating “super soldiers” of specific immune cells to boost an anti-tumor response against cancer has been shown in a series of elegant experiments by researchers at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre. Research led by Ph.D. candidate Helen Loo Yau, Post-doctoral Fellow Dr. Emma Bell, and Senior Scientist Dr. Daniel D. De Carvalho describes a DNA modifying ...

American Scientists Edit Immune Cells of Cancer Patients

A team of scientists from the U.S. has succeeded in genetically editing the immune cells of cancer patients through CRISPR. The results of the experiments were published in the journal Science, and provide hope that the technique might one day be used in patients to effectively treat cancer.   Editing cancer cells “Researchers at the University ...
