Immunotherapy shows promise in the fight against cancer. Gene alteration may be a way to boost the immune system to improve the effectiveness of immunotherapy. The discovery of CAR T-Cell technology may be the breakthrough we have been waiting for, but what exactly is it?
Juno is now working on two second-generation CAR technologies that incorporate mechanisms to further amplify T-cell activation or to dampen it, in the case of adverse reactions.
So now it appears that T-cell activation can be amplified or dampened giving humanity much greater control over the immune system. This greater control will likely result in greater therapeutic value and safety over time. In addition a lot of diseases are diseases of the immune system and cancer in fact may be caused by a vulnerable immune system so if the immune system can kill the cancer cells then we might be able to cure cancer by suppressing it using the immune system.

Thanks for your sharing, I do appreciate it.
Last week, I came across another excellent video about the power of sound and its frequencies to shatter cancer cells. Enjoy this amazing TED Talk, I hope you enjoy too, namaste :)
I wonder if they really would use it. Chemo business is booming and keeping people sick. If they could cure the cancer they would make far less money. I do hope that with the power of blockchain tec. We will get acces to all working tech that will set us free...
Good point, although Gilead and other companies are making billions curing Hep C instead of just treating it. They just made the Cure for Hep C very expensive. Similarly,people will continue to get cancer and if pharma company just makes a very expensive cure the companies ensure they keep making profits for a long time.
I believe that we are within 20 years of seeing an official cure for cancer across the Globe.
Awesome post,really delighted in the video about CAR-T innovation and it's totally astounding to perceive how it works,will certainly change wellbeing care,thanks for sharing.
Nice post
I think so. CAR - T cell technology can revolutionize to treat cancer and other immune diseases. Thank you for sharing
Great post,really enjoyed the video about CAR-T technology and it's absolutely amazing to see how it works,will definitely revolutionize health care,thanks for sharing.
Nice post and videos..:) very helpfully...thanks for sharing
For cancer patients the battle for cancer is still of attrition even with the use of CAR T cells or other ACT's. Although in this 'battle' we could say that we are in the losing side( cancer still has no cure though we could gradually decreased the speed of spreading), the discovery of CAR T cells is very promising. Thanks for posting about CAR T :)
Amazing stuff. Go science!
interesting, so if i'm understanding it right, is this like a cancer vaccine? except you take it after you get cancer?
Hope the technology would be available soon.
great blog. We are using similar technique to treat retinoblastoma. Bio Targeting it is called. First the tumor are targeted by using adenovirus. then the body is blasted with antiviral therapy direvted against adeno. as only the tumor cells were targeted by the adeno virus, the drugs kills only those tumor cells.
Hi Dana!
Is there a way to contact you in private? Maybe you could contact me on the Steem chat. I'm teamsteem there also.
