At the University of Pennsylvania, scientists believe they have made a potentially huge breakthrough in cancer treatment. The concept of what scientists are calling an “immunity passport” would allow the body to recognize unfamiliar items normally used during cancer treatment.
Scientists produced the “passport” to evade cells that work innately to eliminate items that do not belong there. Dennis Discher, University of Pennsylvania Chemical bimolecular professor, said the passport was a way “to get past the immune cells that act like customs officers, border immigration that sort of want to remove things that are foreign from things in the body.”
“It’s a piece of plastic. A small plastic bead and then the immune cells recognize this plastic as belonging in the body,” stated Discher.
Discher believes this breakthrough will help doctors get closer to more effective cancer treatment, and will ultimately help conquer all kinds of cancer, including malignant mesothelioma.
