科学家重新编程免疫细胞以对抗癌症,显著减少小鼠的肿瘤。 Scientists reprogram immune cells to fight cancer, significantly reducing tumors in mice.

科学家开发了一种基因方法,将称为大型细胞的免疫细胞重新编程成癌症抑制剂,这种细胞往往有助于癌症的生长。 Scientists have developed a genetic method to reprogram immune cells called macrophages, which often aid cancer growth, into cancer inhibitors. 通过使用先进的基因编辑工具, 他们发现,沉默一个叫Zeb2的基因 使这些细胞变成癌症抗体。 By using advanced gene-editing tools, they found that silencing a gene named Zeb2 transforms these cells into cancer fighters. 在小鼠患膀胱癌的实验中,治疗导致肿瘤大量减少,为癌症治疗提供了有希望的新方法。 In experiments with mice having bladder cancer, the treatment led to significant tumor reduction, offering a promising new approach to cancer treatment.
