MIT’s “Stealth” Immune Cells Could Change Cancer Treatment Forever

Summary by Science Daily
MIT and Harvard scientists have designed an advanced type of immune cell called a CAR-NK cell that can destroy cancer while avoiding attack from the body’s own immune defenses. This innovation could allow doctors to create “off-the-shelf” cancer treatments ready for use immediately after diagnosis, rather than waiting weeks for personalized cell therapies.

Invisible Killer Cells Against Cancer: Harvard and Mit's Revolutionary Discovery

A revolutionary breakthrough in immunotherapy promises to transform cancer treatment. A team of scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Harvard Medical School has developed a new generation of cancer killer cells, the CAR-NK (Natural Killer), enhanced to be more effective and, strategically, invisible to our own immune system. These results, published in the journal Nature Communications, could finally make advanced c…
