The researchers discovered that while these T cell clones exist in both responsive and non-responsive patients, those who respond to immunotherapy exhibit a unique genetic signature within their T cell clones, and immunotherapy enhances their immune activity. Another key finding was that in non-responsive patients, certain T cell clones were simultaneously found both in the tumor and the bloodstream. The researchers concluded that for improved immune response, it is essential to activate T cell clones found only within the tumor, rather than those present in both the tumor and the blood.

In a research paper, scientists from the Tsinghua University proposed a novel enhanced Digital Light Processing (DLP) 3D printing technology, capable of printing composite magnetic structures with different material sin a single step. Furthermore, a soft robot with a hard magnetic material-superparamagnetic material composite was designed and printed.

A study by the Spanish National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO) has discovered that the shortage of the p53 protein in animal models triggers the formation of colorectal tumours

The findings pave the way to develop colon cancer prevention strategies
