Summary
Mayo Clinic researchers have discovered that some cancer-fighting immune cells (T cells) begin preparing to fight cancer much earlier than previously thought — while still maturing in the thymus. Published in Nature Communications, this finding reveals a previously hidden step in the immune system's cancer response and could lead to more effective and longer-lasting cancer immunotherapies.
