Stem cells have the remarkable potential to develop into many different cell types in the body during early life and growth. In addition, in many tissues they serve as a sort of internal repair system, dividing essentially without limit to replenish other cells as long as the person or animal is still alive. When a stem cell divides, each new cell has the potential either to remain a stem cell or become another type of cell with a more specialized function, such as a muscle cell, a red blood cell, or a brain cell.

NUS scientists breathe new life into an existing drug to fight T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia

A team of researchers from the Cancer Science Institute of Singapore at the National University of Singapore, led by Associate Professor Takaomi Sanda and Dr Lim Fang Qi, has breathed new life into an existing drug—combatting a type of blood cancer called T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, or T-ALL.
