Oncolytic viruses can kill cancer cells while leaving nearby healthy cells and tissues intact.<\/span><\/p>\n

In oncolytic virotherapy, the treatment exerts its influence by activating an antitumor immune response made of immune cells such as Natural Killer(NK) cells.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, sometimes those natural killers limit the oncolytic viruses and so despite the exciting development in the OV field in recent years, there is room for improvement to tackle some limitations, including the relatively weak therapeutic activity and lack of means for effective systemic delivery.<\/span><\/p>\n

What have the researchers developed?<\/b><\/h5>\n

Researchers <\/span>have developed a novel strategy that not only can prevent <\/span>Natural Killer(NK) cells <\/span>from clearing the administered oncolytic virus but also goes one step further by guiding them to attack tumour cells. This is done by deleting the region of the gene which shows to activates the signalling pathway that enables the virus to replicate in normal cells.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
