Synthetic immunology is a field in which researchers design constructs that will help immune cells battle pathogens, most commonly cancer cells. This is particularly crucial for human health due to the considerable number of ways that invaders (to the body) possess to minimize the effectiveness of the immune system. Frequently, these changes take place in the form of developing more advanced synthetic receptors for better recognition of pathogens so that T-cells can execute more precise functions in the body. Other changes are also made to give researchers more control over the advancements that have been inserted into the body, heightening the level of safety for the patients who receive them. Considering the newfound research that has been conducted, this paper focuses on the significance of upgrading various parts of the immune system in terms of the way that they can help protect the body. It also highlights the extensive potential this field has in the future considering the adaptability and functionality of the current, newly-designed systems in place.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
