Canadian researchers have discovered a way to speed up the production of cell therapies to treat cancer. 

Cell therapies have become a more common way to treat cancers in recent years, but these therapies are expensive and can take a long time to produce.

Researchers at the University of British Columbia and B.C. Children’s Hospital Research Institute have recently discovered how to use stem cells to create the immune cells needed for effective cell therapy.
