Breaking the mold: Unconventional T cells in cancer therapy Unconventional TΒ cells, including invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells, gamma delta (Ξ³Ξ΄) TΒ cells, and mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells, play important roles in both innate and adaptive immunity. These cells respond to tumors rapidly and influence the tumor microenvironment (TME). Recent advances in understanding their biology, as well as the development of novel therapeutic approaches, have underscored their potential in cancer immunotherapy. This commentary will assess these advances and translational possibilities in the field.

Awesome review on unconventional T cells! Breaking the mold in cancer therapy #CancerCell www.cell.com/cancer-cell/...
