Electrical currents boost cancer-fighting immune cell effectiveness

Trinity College Dublin July 25, 2024, 04:30 PM UTC

Summary: Research from Trinity College Dublin indicates that electrical currents can enhance the effectiveness of the body's cancer-fighting cells. The study found that applying electrical stimulation to immune cells significantly improved their ability to target and destroy cancer cells. This discovery could lead to new therapeutic approaches in cancer treatment, potentially increasing the efficacy of existing immunotherapies.
