Working with human cancer cell lines and mice, researchers have found a way to trigger a type of immune system ‘virus alert’ that may one day boost cancer patients’ response to immunotherapy drugs. An increasingly promising focus of cancer research, the drugs are designed to disarm cancer cells’ ability to avoid detection and destruction by the immune system.
