Key points from article :
N-LIfT (Neutrophil Only Leukocyte Infusion Therapy) has successfully infiltrated a transplanted pancreatic tumour in mice.
Pancreatic cancer is surrounded by a barrier of healthy cells making infiltration difficult.
Chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy (CAR-T) has been successful in treating blood cancers but not solid tumours.
It finds and destroys cells with a specific marker on their surface.
"Solid tumours display a large degree of antigen heterogeneity and are constantly mutating. Targeting a few antigens is like developing a few keys when there are many ever changing locks." -Alex Blyth, CEO
N-LIfT unlike CAR-T deliberately avoids targeting specific molecules and instead engages the immune system against cancer.
It is produced from stem cells of exceptional cancer killing donors.
These stem cells proliferate into billions of neutrophils that infiltrate and destroy cancer cells.
