Researchers discover the molecule responsible for guiding T cells toward tumors

Immunotherapy, particularly CAR T-Cell treatment for cancer, is extending the lives of many patients. But sometimes the therapy randomly migrates to places it shouldn't go, tucking into the lungs or other noncancerous tissue and causing toxic side effects.
