It became known how to normalize immune cells

Research has shown that cancer cells use an unusual mechanism during migration into new tissues and formations. And his immunity works.

Cancer cells use a special mechanism to migrate through the body and metastasize. The same process, most likely, keeps some immune cells in tension. The number of certain structures and centrioles increases, which makes it easier for them to maintain their direction, thus ensuring rapid migration to the lymph nodes to activate other immune cells.

The immune system relies on the division of labor. First, dendritic cells scan tissues around the clock for traces of suspicious aliens called antigens. If successful, they travel to lymphatic vessels and then to draining lymph nodes, the study found. These dendritic cells present the results of their work to a powerful research team called T-cells.

In front of us are endogenous troops that know which enemy to fight. And this attack has to happen before the invaders do any serious damage or reproduce too much. That is why it is necessary to ensure faster migration of dendritic cells to the lymph nodes. This is exactly what the new generation of drugs should be aimed at.
