Training the innate immune system to fight cancer – FierceBiotech

Existing immuno-oncology therapies primarily leverage one branch of our immune systemadaptive immunityby recruiting T cells to fight cancer. A research team led by scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai has now found a possible way to tap into the other branch, the innate immune system.
In a study published in Cell, the team described a “nanobiologic,” which they designed with tiny materials engineered from a natural molecule and then paired with a therapeutic. The nanobiologic…
