You certainly know how horrifying of a disease cancer is, right? Besides the damage it causes to the body, other factors that make cancer so terrifying are the lack of a cure and the unwated effects of most conventional treatments.
However, a more secure and effective solution has been developed: CAR-T cells. T-cells are one class of immune cells, responsible for recognizing antigens in our body — particles, viruses, bacteria — and induce their destruction. We can genetically modify these cells to make them produce chimeric antigen receptors (CARs), proteins that make them identify cancer cells.
