KAIST Develops In-Body Immune Cell Reprogramming for Cancer

Scientists at KAIST have found a new way to fight cancer by changing immune cells already in tumours.

They made a special drug that turns these immune cells into cancer fighters.

This drug is injected right into the tumour, where immune cells called macrophages absorb it.

The drug tells these macrophages to recognize and attack cancer cells.

It also helps nearby immune cells join the fight.

In tests with animals, this method slowed down tumour growth and made the immune system stronger against cancer.

This could be a big step forward in treating cancers that are hard to fight, like those in the stomach, lungs, or liver.

The best part is that this method doesn't need to take cells out of the body and change them in a lab.

It does everything right inside the body, making it faster and easier.
