A Different Kind of Cancer Killer: Improving CAR NK Cell Therapy
Recent cancer advance CAR T therapy relies on the killing power of cytotoxic CD8+ T cells to destroy a patient’s cancer, but they are not the only cells that can kill. Natural killer cells also target cancerous cells and could be used …

Organoids Shed Light On COVID-19 Infection During Pregnancy
Organoids offer new insight into the effects of Covid-19 infection on pregnant women and their children. In a recent study, Australian researchers led by Dr. Jose Polo from Monash University, develop a placental organoid model that demonstrates how the SARS-CoV-2 virus infects …
Organoids Point The Way For Liver Regeneration
The liver is the only internal organ that can regenerate itself. Remarkably, even if 70 percent of the liver is removed, its tissue can regrow into a full-sized organ within a matter of months. By unraveling the biological mechanisms behind this unique …
Restoring Cardiac Function With Dual-Chamber Leadless Pacemakers

Kidney Function Successfully Modeled In Cell Culture
Scientists have made a remarkable breakthrough in kidney research. In a paper published in the journal Biology Communications, a team of researchers at Kyoto University led by Ramin Sadeghian present an innovative approach to building miniature kidney models that closely resemble the …
Treating Troubling Tumors: CAR T Therapy for Aggressive Childhood T Cell Leukemia
In recent years, CAR T therapy has become an established treatment for patients suffering from blood cancers derived from B cells; this includes B cell lymphomas, leukemias and multiple myeloma. However, the therapy has yet to achieve similar success for T cell-derived …
