Scientists Reprogrammed Human Skin Cells Into Immune Cells to Fight Cancer
“Without T-cells, the cells responsible for fighting off foreign cells, we humans are pretty vulnerable to disease. The T-cells themselves however rely on immune system sentinels, dendritic cells, to seek our and flag anything suspicious.
In cancer treatments like immunotherapy, this process is manipulated to get our own bodies to attack cancerous cells. Now, for the first time, a research team from Lund University in Sweden has developed a process for converting human skin cells into these immune system sentinels, which could lead to safer immunotherapy treatment options.
