Scientists have figured out a way to detonate the ‘doors’ that lead to the heart of cancerous tumors, blowing them wide open for drug treatments.

The strategy works by triggering a ‘timer bomb’ on the cells that line a tumor’s associated blood vessels.

These vessels control access to the tumor tissue, and until they are opened, engineered immune cells can’t easily gain entry to the cancer to fight it off.
