Immune system transplants from strangers on horizon to fight cancer |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 77060832 Ireland 12/26/2018 10:21 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Immune system transplants from strangers on horizon to fight cancer Scientists have discovered a breakthrough treatment to fight cancer, as they claim the disease will no longer be deadly for future generations. Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute in London believe it is possible to strengthen the body's defences by transplanting immune cells from strangers. Patients will begin to receive the new treatment next year, and the team now wants to establish ‘immune banks’ to store disease-fighting cells. Immunology expert Professor Adrian Hayday, group leader of the Immunosurveillance Lab at The Crick, said scientists and doctors could become more like engineers, upgrading the body rather than bombarding it with toxic chemotherapy..

then you transplant them in the patient with the same exact type of cancer.
it's going to work. |

In mice who have been genetically engineered to have the same mutations, it is almost impossible to induce skin cancer.. “We have a group in Sardinia who have a conspicuously low rate of cancers. Technology which allows you to sequence the genome opens the possibility to start looking at elite controllers and learn the pathways.
“There is every reason, despite the suffering that continues to plague the oncology wards, the family, the friends, the basis for optimism is extraordinary. |

Quoting: Icey Don't think it's any different than having a blood transfusion, bone marrow or organ transplant. |
