BYU preclinical research shows macrophages can be programmed to fight solid cancer tumors
BYU preclinical research shows a promising new immunotechnology called MOTO-CAR that genetically engineers macrophages — immune cells that can enter solid tumors — to recognize cancer-associated markers, attack the tumor cells, and activate other immune cells with a memory to fight the cancer. Researchers hope it will eventually lead to treatments for difficult-to-cure cancers, including glioblastoma, triple-negative breast cancer and pancreatic cancer.
