CAR T therapy can lead to long-lasting remissions in patients with r/r diffuse large B-cell lymphoma

In an update to a global clinical trial stretching from Philadelphia to four continents, the chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy Kymriah (tisagenlecleucel, formerly CTL019) led to long-lasting remissions in patients with relapsed/refractory (r/r) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).

Daily hydroxyurea treatment may bring some relief for African children with sickle cell anemia

A daily hydroxyurea pill may finally bring some relief for young children living with the painful and deadly blood disease sickle cell anemia in resource-challenged sub-Saharan Africa, where the disease is prevalent and health care availability is suboptimal.

Study shows for the first time how a specific cell gene affects transformation of others

An international team of seven institutions from Spain and the US including the University of Valencia has discovered for the first time that the biological activity of the c-MYC gene is necessary so that cell reprogramming occurs, that is, the process by which a specialised cell -for example, a neuron- is transformed into a different cell type.

Researchers reveal how some cancers trick healthy cells into protecting tumors

Many factors affect cancer treatment outcome, such as the size and location of the tumor, availability of effective treatments, and timing of intervention. But some cancers are so aggressive that outcome is poor, even after early diagnosis and chemotherapy.

Light-activated tools allow scientists to accurately probe intracellular phase separation

Creating new tools that harness light to probe the mysteries of cellular behavior, Princeton researchers have made discoveries about the formation of cellular components called membraneless organelles and the key role these organelles play in cells.

Triple combination cancer immunotherapy improves survival in mouse model of melanoma

Adoptive cell transfer is a promising cancer immunotherapy that involves isolating T cells from cancer patients that are capable of targeting their tumor, selecting the more active T cells and expanding those in the lab, and then transfusing them back into patients.

Study points toward new strategies for managing organ transplantation

The human intestine may provide up to 10 percent of blood cells in circulation from its own reservoir of blood-forming stem cells, a surprising new study from researchers at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons has found.

Liver immune cells contain inert HIV and are unlikely to reproduce infection, study reveals

In a proof-of-principle study, researchers at Johns Hopkins revealed that certain immune system cells found in the human liver, called liver macrophages, contain only inert HIV and aren't likely to reproduce infection on their own in HIV-infected people on long-term antiretroviral therapy.
