Cancer Therapy: Kyoto University, New Method Detecting Aggressively Attacking Cancer Cells – Human iPS-derived “Killer T Cells”

2018/11/16 05: 00

Research institute Jun Takagawa and researcher Junko Kaneko of iPS cell research institute of Kyoto University have reported that a stable and effective attack on cancer cells is an immune cell “killer T cell” made from human iPS cells (artificial pluripotent stem cells) I found a way to do it.

It controls the T cell receptor (TCR) of the molecule receiving the stimulus so that stimulation from cancer cells can be identified.
