Scientists Capture Immune Cells Eating Live Cancer Cells for the First Time
Scientists discovered and filmed macrophages actively destroying live melanoma cells, a finding that could improve immunotherapy and inspire new cancer treatments. Scientists at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research have, for the first time, recorded immune cells known as the body’s “housekeepers” actively attacking and consuming live melanoma cells. The discovery could reshape how researchers [...]
Scientists in Australia have for the first time recorded immune cells actively attacking and consuming living melanoma cancer cells. The research team from the Garvan Institute of Medical Research has identified a previously underappreciated group of immune cells called macrophages. These cells are found at the edges of melanoma tumors, where they continuously surround and “swallow” cancer cells, slowing tumor growth. “This is the first time any…
Researchers at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research in Australia have, for the first time, recorded macrophages, a type of immune cell, attacking and consuming melanoma cells in real time. The discovery could alter the approach to treating this cancer, one of the most common and lethal in the country. Discovery of macrophages in action Scientists observed macrophages, known as the body's 'cleaners', in action around melanoma tumors. The rese…
