Claims analyzed (4)

1. verified: The University of Geneva conducted research providing a 3D view of killer T cells targeting cancer cells.
   The University of Geneva (UNIGE), in collaboration with Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV), published this research in the journal Cell Reports on April 28, 2026.
2. verified: Scientists used cryo-expansion microscopy to reveal the immune synapse's role in releasing toxic molecules.
   The study specifically utilized cryo-expansion microscopy (cryo-ExM) to preserve biological structures in a near-native state and expand them for nanoscale 3D observation of the immune synapse.
3. verified: The research shows killer T cells destroying cancer cells while protecting healthy tissue.
   The 3D visualization confirmed the precision of the immune synapse, which acts as a tightly controlled contact zone to deliver toxic granules only to the target cell.
4. verified: This is the first-ever 3D view showing killer T cells targeting cancer cells within real tumors.
   The researchers explicitly stated they extended their cryo-ExM method to human tumor tissues, allowing the first direct nanometer-scale 3D observation of T lymphocytes infiltrating clinical tumor samples.
