Cancer immunotherapies have made the news for their startling effectiveness against certain cancers. However, current clinical therapies mainly use the patient’s own cells, limiting the number of patients who have access to this cure. CiRA Professor Shin Kaneko is developing iPS cells technology that would make cancer immunotherapies available to all patients. In a new study, his research team reports how gene editing iPS cells leads to a universal cancer immunotherapy that does not depend on the patient’s cells.
