"textContent": "Since scientists first discovered that human immune cells could be modified to become cancer-fighting agents, they've been trying to engineer a cell that's effective against solid tumors, which account for the vast majority of cancer cases. In a key advance in meeting this \"holy grail challenge\" in the field of cancer cell therapy, a team of Yale scientists led by geneticist Sidi Chen has revealed how immune cells can be \"boosted\" to target and eradicate solid tumors.",
