In the battle against diseases, the human body boasts an intricate defence network capable of identifying and neutralising threats – the immune system. It serves as a guardian, constantly patrolling the body to keep it safe from invaders like bacteria, viruses, and even cancer cells.
Scientists are harnessing the power of the body’s natural defence mechanism to develop immunotherapy, revolutionising the landscape of medical treatment. It enhances, redirects, or restores the body’s immune response to recognise and eliminate abnormal cells, such as cancer cells or those responsible for autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis and type 1 diabetes.
