Scientists discover how the body’s killer cells attack cancer
Date:
Scientists could soon understand how the immune system targets cells devastated by cancer. A new study has revealed that the cells in our bodies which protect against disease and infections instinctively recognise and attack a protein that drives cancer growth.
The findings, which have been published in the Science Advances journal, have led experts to suggest that by hijacking this protein, known as XPO1, they may be able to activate more killer cells to destroy the disease.
