Unlocking Cancer’s Weakness: How Scientists Are Targeting Mesothelin

When it comes to fighting cancer, scientists have been working hard to find better ways to help patients. One exciting area they’re exploring is something called CAR-T therapy, which targets specific proteins found on cancer cells. One of these proteins, called mesothelin, is found in different kinds of cancer like mesothelioma, ovarian, lung cancer, and some types of leukemia. But using CAR-T therapy against mesothelin has been tricky. The treatment sometimes gets tired out, and other proteins in the body can stop it from working well. To fix these problems, scientists have come up with a new way to make CAR-T therapy work better against mesothelin in cancer. Game-Changing Journey to Success First off, they made a special kind of…
