Immune cell that kills most cancers discovered by accident by British scientists

https://www.dailywire.com/news/british-scientist-may-have-found-cure-for-cancer-by-accident

Researchers at Cardiff University were analysing blood from a bank in Wales, looking for immune cells that could fight bacteria, when they found an entirely new type of T-cell.

That new immune cell carries a never-before-seen receptor which acts like a grappling hook, latching on to most human cancers, while ignoring healthy cells.
In laboratory studies, immune cells equipped with the new receptor were shown to kill lung, skin, blood, colon, breast, bone, prostate, ovarian, kidney and cervical cancer.

Probably not the right thread, but didn't seem right for the 'Discuss Anything Else' thread either!

This Australian project in Brisbane really is innovative architecture, and impressive civil engineering too.

Video clip does not seem to work, but article and clip can be found on https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-australia
