Science: Knockout of this epigenetic gene gives CAR-T cells the ability to continuously attack cancer cells
Simply put, CAR-T is to transform the patient's immune T cells in vitro by biotechnology, so that they recognize antigens on the surface of tumor cells, and then inject these cells back into the patient to achieve the therapeutic effect of recognizing and killing cancer cells. In 2017, CAR-T therapy was first approved by the FDA for the treatment of blood cancers such as leukemia and lymphoma. ...
