DESCRIPTION
Researchers have made a breakthrough in cancer treatment by harnessing the disease-destroying abilities of the body’s natural killer cells. Their novel nanodrones selectively target a tumor, enabling the killer cells to do what they do best: Suppress cancer growth. The discovery opens the door to developing tumor-specific immunotherapies for hard-to-treat cancers.
