More than 15,000 people in Australia are diagnosed with melanoma every year. However, a Melbourne-based research team has discovered a T cell that can migrate into tumours and eradicate melanoma. The CD4+ T cells have been injected into mice that have melanoma, and the study’s lead author Dr Emma Bawden says a very small dose of the cells has been able to cure the mice. The researchers are based at Melbourne University and the Peter Doherty Institute.
