Scientists succeed in producing immune cells capable of attacking tumors By Bioethics Observatory Published On: September 8th, 2026 Categories: Bioethics, BIOETHICS NEWS, Gene Therapy, SPECIAL REPORTS A group of scientists from the University of Southern California has developed a method to continuously produce progenitor cells capable of generating macrophages, a type of cell essential for the functioning of the immune system. In a study published in the journal Cell, researchers describe a new technique for obtaining a renewable and expandable supply of granulocyte and monocyte progenitor cells (GMP), precursors of different types of immune cells, including macrophages. These immune cells contribute to the body’s resp... https://bioethicsobservatory.org/2026/09/scientists-succeed-in-producing-immune-cells-capable-of-attacking-tumors/48994/?utm_source=mailpoet&utm_medium=email&utm_source_platform=mailpoet
