Forcing cancer cells to die can alert the immune system to enhance anti-tumor attack
Researchers at the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover are studying necroptosis, a form of programmed cell death, as a potential strategy to combat advanced breast cancer. By triggering this process in apoptosis-resistant cancer cells, scientists hope to enhance the immune system's ability to attack tumors.
