The method is based on the use of patient immune cells called T-killers. These cells can destroy cancer cells, but in brain cancer they face a problem: they prevent “killers” from entering the tumor.
Experts have found a solution to this problem. They used the virus to replace blood vessels in the brain. This made it possible for T-killers to penetrate the tumor and destroy cancer cells.
In addition, scientists managed to create favorable conditions around the vessels for the functioning of immune cells. As a result, T-killers not only learned how to penetrate the tumor, but also became more effective at destroying cancer cells.
Now a team from Uppsala University plans to continue working on this method. They want to do more research and clinical trials so that their method can help more patients in the future.
