Foreword on Article by Steve Holmes
Immunotherapy explained very Simply
Dr Charles Drake explains about Exhausted T Cells in immunotherapies and how to switch them back on. Sounds so simple but doesn’t work for everyone. He talks about tumours going into long term Stable State which is actually a good thing. Dr Drake also talks about T Cell memory and rejigging it by taking the tumour outside of the body, retrain them and then put them back into your body – sounds a lot like CAR -T Cell treatment – he calls this “Adoptive T Cell Transfer.
