Montreal – American researchers are seeking to discover a new technology that can increase the effectiveness of some immune cells against cancer cells by a factor of one hundred. Ironically, by studying the genetic mutations that cause malignant T cells to cause a type of cancer (lymphoma), researchers from the University of California, San Francisco and Northwestern University were able to identify a gene that could increase the effectiveness of healthy T cells. Without making it toxic. “(The study) authors said, 'Wait a minute. If T-cell cancers cause these T cells to survive, proliferate, and form tumors, then perhaps there…
