The video discusses the complexity of finding a universal cure for cancer, highlighting that cancer is not a single disease but a collection of different conditions. Researchers at Cardiff University discovered a type of killer T cell that can potentially target multiple cancer types. These T cells interact with the MR1 protein, which is present on all cells, to detect cancerous cells. The discovery could lead to a new form of immunotherapy similar to CAR-T therapy but with broader applicability. However, further research and human trials are needed to confirm its effectiveness.

What is CAR-T immunotherapy and how does it relate to the research discussed?

What are some of the types of cancer that the T cells were effective against?
