Penn researchers tag CAR T cells with imaging markers to monitor cancer therapy

With CAR T cell therapy, a patient's own immune cells are genetically modified and inserted back into the body to find and kill cancer. This form of immunotherapy has already revolutionized some cancer treatments, but once the CAR T cells are inside a patient, where do they go? How do doctors know that they have successfully reached their target and that they are continuing to fight disease weeks, months, or even years later?

Study describes a molecular strategy that helps prevent development of tumors in mice

The body's process for manufacturing fatty acids is regulated by the enzyme FASN. In normal cells, this is not a very active process - except occasionally in the liver and adipose tissue - since most of the fatty acids we need for cell maintenance are obtained from the diet.
