T-cell assassins captured on film hunting down cancer cells and ‘reloading’ to kill again

Показать описание
Cambridge researchers have captured on film the activity of T cells – an important component of our immune system – as they hunt down and kill cancer cells. For the first time, they have also shown how these cells reload their toxic weapons.

Cytotoxic T cells are specialist white blood cells that are trained by our immune system to recognise and eliminate threats – including tumour cells and cells infected with invading viruses, such as SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19. They are also at the heart of new immunotherapies that promise to transform cancer treatment.

So this is from 2 years ago, right?
When will it come out to the public ? Cancer runs in my family so odds are I'm probably going to need something like this in the next 10 years.

So now I know when Dr. Thomas Seyfried narrated in one of his interviews that cancer is a mitochondrial disease.
