Analysis of killer T cell geometry during an anti-tumour response

癌症是世界各地的一个主要健康问题。目前使用的癌症治疗方案的缺点是，它们还会损害健康组织。这限制了可以给药的剂量，经常导致治疗失败。抗肿瘤杀伤T细胞是一种自然产生的细胞类型，可以导致肿瘤消退。在目前的提案中，我们探索如何进一步提高这些细胞类型的效率，以诱导对进展中的肿瘤的排斥反应。

Cancer is a major health problem around the world. Currently used treatment options of cancer have the drawback that they also damage healthy tissues. This limits the dosages that can be administered, frequently resulting in treatment failure. Anti-tumour killer T cells are a naturally occurring cell type that can cause tumour regression. In the present proposal, we explore how the efficiency of these cell-types can be further enhanced to induce rejection of progressing tumours.
