In a groundbreaking development, researchers at Virginia Tech have devised a revolutionary immunotherapy technique that boosts immune cells to combat cancer without causing harmful side effects like hair loss. By localizing cancer-killing cytokines in tumors, this innovative approach enhances the effectiveness of existing treatments. Led by chemical engineering Professor Rong Tong, the team's method involves reprogramming immune cells to target and destroy cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue. Unlike previous approaches, their technique ensures that the cytokines remain localized within tumors for extended periods, maximizing therapeutic benefits while minimizing toxicity to the rest of the body. This breakthrough paves the way for a new era in cancer treatment, offering hope to patients worldwide.
