Tuning T cells’ cancer-killing power via an engineered hydrogel platform

Lymph nodes, considered the command centers of our immune system, often get swollen and stiff when fighting infection. Now, a UC Berkeley-led team of researchers has discovered that this mechanical change may help instruct our immune system to fight disease. Their findings could lead to a new method for manufacturing immune cells that maximizes their cancer-cell killing abilities while reducing side effects.
