Equipping living cells with logic gates to fight cancer

equipping-living-cells-with-logic-gates-to-fight-cancer

One of the most exciting developments in cancer treatment is a wave of new cell therapies that train a patient’s immune system to attack cancer cells. Such therapies have saved the lives of patients with certain aggressive cancers and few other options. Most of these therapies work by teaching immune cells to recognize and attack specific proteins on the surface of cancer cells.

Unfortunately, most proteins found on cancer cells aren’t unique to tumors. They’re also often present on healthy cells, making it difficult to target cancer aggressively without triggering dangerous attacks on other tissue. The problem has limited the application of cell therapies to a small subset of cancers.

Now Senti Bio is working to create smarter cell therapies using synthetic biology. The company, which was founded by former MIT faculty member and current MIT Research Associate Tim Lu ’03, MEng ’03, PhD ’08 and Professor James Collins,

Requesting Discord to cough up the deets.

If you cast your mind back to October 2024, you might recall The Pokémon Company being subjected to a hacking which resulted in huge amounts of company data (including personal information regarding its employees) being leaked online. The so-called ‘Teraleak‘ was one of the largest in recent memory, and now it seems Nintendo is going after the person responsible (thanks for the heads up, Polygon).

In a recent subpoena document submitted to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on 18th April 2025 (via Polygon), Nintendo requested that Discord reveal the identity of user ‘GameFreakOUT’ — the party accused of leaking “confidential materials not released to the public” on the ‘FreakLeak’ server.
