A new "double-pronged" CAR T immunotherapy recognizes two distinct features of multiple myeloma to destroy the cancer more ...

The research groups led by Wolfgang Kastenmüller and Georg Gasteiger employed innovative microscopy techniques to observe how specific immune cells, known as T-cells, are activated and proliferate ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Measuring the density of a cell can reveal a great deal about the cell’s state. As cells proliferate, differentiate, or undergo cell death, they may gain or lose water and other ...

A team has identified a previously unknown phase of the immune response. The results challenge long-standing assumptions about the process called 'T-cell priming'. These new insights have significant ...

The mission with cancer therapy is clear: eradicate as many tumour cells as possible. Traditional chemotherapy remains a mainstay, where patients are dosed with potent compounds that disrupt essential ...

Medistem Laboratories says they've found a new adult stem cell in menstrual blood that may prove an effective replacement for human embryonic stem cells. Report Scientists involved in stem cell ...

One continuing challenge is the need to suppress transplant patients' immune systems to prevent their bodies from rejecting the transplant. Genetic engineering to prevent rejection has long been ...

MIT researchers found a way to measure cell density quickly and accurately -- measuring up to 30,000 cells in a single hour. They also showed density changes could be used to make useful predictions, ...
