Investigators of the Vall d’Hebron Institute of Oncology’s Growth Factors Group, in collaboration with researchers of the Cancer Research Program of Hospital del Mar Research Institute, Barcelona, have developed novel chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy that can produce a potent antitumor response against p95HER2-expressing cells.
