Natural killer immune cells engineered to target the PD-L1 molecule can directly kill tumour cells in mice and reduce the numbers of immunosuppressive cells harbouring PD-L1 in mice and humans Scientists have engineered natural killer immune cells that not only kill head and neck tumour cells in mice but also reduce the immune-suppressing myeloid cells...
A new approach to treating pancreatic cancer using ‘educated killer cells’ has shown promise, according to early research by Queen Mary University of London QUEEN MARY UNIVERSITY OF LONDON The new cell-based immunotherapy, which has not yet been tested in humans with pancreatic cancer, led to mice being completely cancer-free, including cancer cells that had already spread to the liver...
