Scientists discover groundbreaking cancer kill 'switch' for internal tumor destruction

Scientists at the University of California, Davis Cancer Centre have identified a segment of a protein on the outside of cancer tumour cells that, when activated, causes the cells to self-destruct. This breakthrough discovery could potentially lead to new treatments for cancer, including the use of CAR T-cell therapy to fight against solid tumours. The researchers have identified a section on the receptor that can activate the destruction process when targeted. However, further research is needed to determine the effectiveness of this treatment and its applicability to different types of cancer.
