The technology used in the coronaviruses vaccines has led to the reprogrammed of immune cells in mice to repair damaged hearts.

The scar goes away after you give the treatment.

Genetically engineered immune cells called CAR T-cells are already being used to treat cancer, but this is extremely expensive.

Aghajanian says that CAR-T therapy has been a breakthrough, but it costs a lot. We hope this is the next step in CAR-T technology that will allow more access. You can get this type of thing to developing countries.

T-cells destroy cells that have been bitten by a viruses by using their surface receptors.
