Injection turns sleeping tumor immune cells into cancer fighters

🤖AI Özeti

KAIST researchers have created a method to transform dormant immune cells in tumors into effective cancer-fighting agents. By injecting a drug directly into the tumor, macrophages are stimulated to identify and attack cancer cells, while also activating surrounding immune responses. This innovative approach negates the necessity for extracting and modifying cells in a laboratory setting. In studies with animal models, this technique has shown promising results in slowing tumor growth and enhancing immune responses against cancer.
