Boosting Antitumour Immunity through Targeted Delivery of Interferon-α.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionised cancer immunotherapy but their success is wholly dependent on amplifying an existing immune response directed against the tumour. A recent study by Tsuchiya et al. suggests how the properties of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) may be exploited for the targeted delivery of interferon-alpha (IFN alpha) to elicit an appropriate response.
