SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Gamma delta T cells, a special type of cell in the immune system, are incredibly effective at recognizing and killing cancer cells. Cancer patients with higher levels of these T cells in their tumors tend to fare better than those with lower levels. But scientists have struggled to understand exactly how gamma delta T cells can recognize cancerous cells, and how new cancer therapies may be able to take advantage of these powerful immune cells.

Key Points: 
  • New study explains how understudied cells in the immune system, called gamma delta T cells, can target cancer cells for destruction
