Opening New Medical Frontiers | These discoveries have opened new medical frontiers for treating autoimmune diseases, improving cancer therapies, and preventing complications after transplantations. Regulatory T cells are often found in cancerous tumors, where they may shield the tumor from immune attack. Researchers are exploring ways to overcome this protection. Understanding FOXP3 and regulatory T cells now allows scientists to design therapies that reprogram the immune system to fight cancer or reduce autoimmunity, offering hope for more precise and effective medical interventions. Scientists are also working on genetically modified versions of T cells to promote organ transplant tolerance—the body’s ability to accept foreign tissue from a donor. (Image: Canva)
