They discover a therapy that worked in all the models tested.
lSociety does not stop its efforts to improve and extend the lives of citizens as long as possible. We will never know if man will be immortal, but research and medicine are needed to find out this answer. Starting this Wednesday, February 7, 2024, we are getting one step closer. Nature magazine repeated a new study that claims the method has been tested in several cancer models and none of them failed.
One of the authors of this project is Jaekyuk ChoiAssociate Professor, Feinberg School of Medicine Northwestern University (Chicago). This professor reveals his view that methods tried so far have failed in the fight against cancer, and his method seems ideal for winning this medical battle that has claimed so many lives.
“Most of them don’t work because they can’t overcome the microenvironment created by a solid tumor. We tried to increase the power of our model, which increases possibilities of adoptive therapy using T cells and we killed tumor cells in mice with B-cell leukemia, stomach cancer, skin cancer and mesothelioma,” Choi explains about his research.
“Super T cell” – hope to end cancer
According to the assistant professor, the key to the research was to find out the reason why tumor cells become strong in the body. Once they discovered this gene, they were able to introduce it into human T cells and They found that their ability to destroy tumor cells was 100 times more powerful than initially.
So far, these super T cells have only been used in experimental projects on skin, lung and stomach tumors, but the results have been very satisfactory. “We think this method has the potential to affect all types of cancer.”declared the greatest exponent of this new research that could change the world of medicine as we know it.
What is a T lymphocyte?
According to the National Cancer Institute, T cells “Part of the immune system and are formed from stem cells in the bone marrow. They help protect the body from infections and fight cancer. Also called T cell and thymocyte.
