癌症致命的原因之一是癌细胞能避开人体免疫系统的攻击,肿瘤也因此得以肆意生长和扩散。为此科学家尝试利用免疫疗法,诱导免疫系统对癌细胞发起进攻并建立持续的免疫抵抗机制,其中哈佛大学维斯生物工程研究所和哈佛大学工程与应用科学学院的研究者们就展示了一种新的方法。这是一种非手术注射的可编程生物材料,能够在人体内自发地组装成三维结构,对抗甚至帮助预防癌症和类似艾滋病的传染病。研究作者、维斯研究所核心成员、哈佛大学工程与应 Cancer is one of the deadly causes of cancer cells can avoid the attack of the immune system, the tumor has thus been able to wanton growth and proliferation. To this end, scientists try to use immunotherapy to induce the immune system to attack cancer cells and establish a continuous mechanism of immune resistance. Among them, researchers at Harvard University’s Institute for Biological Engineering and Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Science New method This is a non-surgical, injectable, programmable biomaterial that spontaneously assembles into three-dimensional structures in the human body to combat and even help prevent cancer and AIDS-like infectious diseases.
