17-03-2020
Our immune system is like a security checkpoint that scans our bodies’ cells to protect us from things that are harmful. Once detected, abnormal cells are attacked and removed by T-cells. A molecule found on the surface of cancer cells, PD-L1 functions as a disguise that allows cancer cells to go undetected. Dr Dan Chen explains how cancer immunotherapy may affect the PD-L1 pathway, enabling the body’s immune system to better detect, fight and kill cancer cells.
