TED: We can hack our immune cells to fight cancer | Elizabeth Wayne

The video discusses the challenges of cancer drug delivery, highlighting the limitations of chemotherapy and the need for more targeted approaches. The speaker proposes using immune cells as vehicles for drug delivery, leveraging their natural ability to travel to disease sites. An experiment using nanoparticles bound to immune cells showed promising results in reducing cancer spread in mice. The research suggests a paradigm shift in drug delivery, with potential applications in various diseases beyond cancer.

Why is it important to consider the stories of patients in scientific research, according to the speaker?
