Pesquisadores da Mayo Clinic investigaram as bases moleculares do câncer e descobriram uma nova razão pela qual o receptor de antígeno quimérico (terapia com células CAR-T) não funciona em alguns pacientes. Essa descoberta estimulou novas estratégias que incorporam anticorpos e edição genética para melhorar os resultados desse tratamento inovador para os pacientes. Esta pesquisa do Dr. Saad Kenderian, consultor em hematologia da Mayo Clinic, foi publicada na Nature Communications.
