Medical Xpress / Scientists recruit red blood cells to deliver genetic cargo with instructions to kill cancer
Scientists have developed a way to turn the body's own immune cells into cancer-fighting agents—without removing them from the body—by using red blood cells to deliver genetic instructions. Current CAR (chimeric antigen receptor) ...
