CAR-T treatments begin by taking some of the patient’s own T cells. T cells are part of the body’s immune system and are involved in detecting and destroying infected or cancerous cells.

These cells deal with microbes and repair tissue damage. Two main sub-types of immune cells are T cells and macrophages. T cells are designed to recognise the molecular signatures of particular ...

T-cells, a white blood cell in the immune system, are removed from a patient and re-engineered to produce a protein on their surface that binds to a specific target protein on cancer cells. When ...

The scientists were looking for "unconventional" and previously undiscovered ways the immune system naturally attacks tumours. What they found was a T-cell inside people's blood. This is an immune ...
