Bar-Ilan University researchers develop new nanotechnology
August 19, 2022
(JNS) — Newfound technology enables the use of nanoparticles to assist the body’s own immune system to fight cancer.
The technology, developed by a research team at Bar-Ilan University, uses nanoparticles to eliminate obstacles in the malignant tumor’s environment that impede the normal activity of natural killer cells (a special sub-type of white blood cells called lymphocytes).
The research was published in the journal EMBO Molecular Medicine.
Natural killer cells are a potent defense weapon of the body that assists the immune system in its fight against viral infections, tumor gr...
