The research suggests that understanding how T cells respond to physical conditions could open new possibilities for treating autoimmune disorders, allergies, transplant rejection, and cancer. In cancer particularly, the dense physical environment of tumors could be addressed by designing immunotherapies that help immune cells adapt to and penetrate tumor tissue.
“Tumors are often dense and physically difficult for immune cells to penetrate. Understanding how T cells adapt to these environments could help researchers design cancer immunotherapies that are better able to reach and attack tumors.”
