Researchers coated cancer cells with bacterial signals that prompted macrophages to recognize and engulf them, raising phagocytosis from about 20% to 70% in laboratory tests and slowing tumours in mice. The approach is inventive, but it remains preclinical and has not been tested for safety or effectiveness in people. Scientists Made Cancer Cells Look Like Bacteria So Immune Cells Would Eat Them
