UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center's Jonathan S. Serody, MD, and colleagues report that adding a small molecule to a chimeric antigen receptor-T (CAR-T) cell therapy can help immune system T cells to effectively attack solid tumors, such as breast cancers. The boost helps recruit more immune cells into battle at the tumor site, according to the study published in the Journal of Experimental Medicine.
