Ito et al. generated and characterized multiclonal tumoricidal T cells derived from tumor infiltrating lymphocyte-derived iPS cells (TIL-iPSC) using human colorectal cancer specimens. They demonstrated that the newly-generated T cells retained intrinsic characters and acquired improved functions with less differentiated profiles, thus constituting a potential therapeutic anti-cancer tool.
