The study uncovers previously unrecognized immune defenses against cancer. Researchers identified specific immune cells and mechanisms within the body that actively target and eliminate cancer cells, suggesting hidden layers of the immune system’s anti-tumor response. These findings shed light on potential avenues for enhancing the body’s natural defenses against cancer, offering promising prospects for novel immunotherapies and personalized cancer treatments.
