Re-engineering Macrophages to Eat Cancer Cells

Normally, immune cells called macrophages will detect cancer cells, then engulf and devour them. In recent years, researchers have discovered that proteins on the cell surface can tell macrophages not to eat and destroy them. This can be useful to help normal cells keep the immune system from attacking them, but cancer cells use these โ€œdonโ€™t eat meโ€ signals to hide from the immune system.

 

We've had macrophages that EAT cancer cells (Phagocytosis) and also cause call death (apoptosis) in Tumor cells.
