Immune cells can be stimulated to boost effects of chemotherapy in pancreatic cancer: Study ANI | Updated: Jul 10, 2021 10:32 IST Washington [US], July 10 (ANI): A new study from Queen Mary University of London has demonstrated that immune cells can be stimulated to assemble into special structures within pancreatic cancer, such that, at least in a pre-clinical model, researchers can demonstrate an improvement in the efficacy of chemotherapy. The research was published in Cellular and Molecular Gastroenterology and Hepatology, and funded by Cancer Research UK, Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund and Medical Research Council.
