Abstract
Targeted therapies that use small-molecule inhibitors for the treatment of T cell blood cancer exist only for certain subtypes, and the development of immunologically based CAR T cell therapies has been challenging. A study now exploits the fact that malignant T cells express one of two T cell receptor-β variants and investigates strategies for targeting these malignant cells while sparing half of the non-malignant T cells.
期刊介绍：
Cancer is a devastating disease responsible for millions of deaths worldwide. However, many of these deaths could be prevented with improved prevention and treatment strategies. To achieve this, it is crucial to focus on accurate diagnosis, effective treatment methods, and understanding the socioeconomic factors that influence cancer rates.
Nature Cancer aims to serve as a unique platform for sharing the latest advancements in cancer research across various scientific fields, encompassing life sciences, physical sciences, applied sciences, and social sciences. The journal is particularly interested in fundamental research that enhances our understanding of tumor development and progression, as well as research that translates this knowledge into clinical applications through innovative diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Additionally, Nature Cancer welcomes clinical studies that inform cancer diagnosis, treatment, and prevention, along with contributions exploring the societal impact of cancer on a global scale.
In addition to publishing original research, Nature Cancer will feature Comments, Reviews, News & Views, Features, and Correspondence that hold significant value for the diverse field of cancer research.
