Immune cell that destroys most types of cancer discovered, and scientists are hopeful it could be used to develop a 'one-size-fits-all' cancer treatment

The recent discovery of a "killer immune cell" that could potentially serve as a universal cure for cancer has sparked optimism among scientists. Researchers at Cardiff University identified a particular type of T-cell in human blood that has the ability to target and kill various kinds of cancer cells while leaving healthy cells unaffected. This finding suggests the potential development of a "one-size-fits-all" treatment for cancer. Unlike the current CAR-T cell therapies, which are personalized for individual patients and have limitations in targeting a limited number of cancers and solid tumors, the newly discovered T-cell equipped with a unique T-cell receptor (TCR) can distinguish between healthy and diseased cells, selectively eliminating only the cancerous ones. The broad cancer ...
