Scientists can now grow 14 million cancer-killing cells from a single stem cell
Researchers have developed a breakthrough method to mass-produce powerful immune cells from a single stem cell, potentially creating an endless supply of targeted treatments to hunt and destroy tumors.
A single blood-forming stem cell can now be transformed into over 14 million specialized Natural Killer cells using a sophisticated lab-grown environment. These engineered cells are the body's primary defense against tumors, acting like biological soldiers that identify and eliminate malignant growth on sight.
