Researchers at The Ottawa Hospital and the University of Ottawa discovered that a kind of kiss between cells, called trogocytosis, plays a key role in the battle between the immune system and blood cancer cells. The findings were published on April 13, in the journal Science Advances.
Trogocytosis is a phenomenon by which immune cells, such as Natural Killer (NK) cells, make close contact with another cell and steal a chunk of its membrane.
