Researchers identify cell to put cancer to sleep
A team of Australian scientists including cancer researchers from the Telethon Kids Institute have made a crucial breakthrough in understanding how the immune system puts cancer to sleep. Their findings could pave the way for improved cancer treatments which – rather than eradicating a cancer altogether – achieve the next best thing: permanent dormancy. The research is an international collaboration led by Telethon Kids and the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity at Melbourne University.
