Scientists in the front lines of the war against cancer say defeating the disease probably means a little education – of immune cells, that is.

In a recent experiment, some Johns Hopkins scientists tested some immune cells that are known to attack a cancer of the bone marrow. The "smartest" cells – in other words, those that live near in the bone marrow near the cancer – were 90 percent more effective than those that lived in other parts of the body, the researchers say.

The experts say, then, that developing an effective cancer treatment is likely a matter of teaching the most effective cancer fighting cells where to live to do their best work.
