CAR T cell persistence in cancer
Chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR T) therapies are ‘living drugs’ in which T cells are genetically engineered to recognize and kill cancer cells. A major barrier to progress for CAR T targeting li...

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country. This Friday, where will you be? standupforscience2025.org

Any speculation why big pharma and biotech industries have been so quiet about the current defunding of biomedical research? (which also means the defunding of biomedical research training)

With an Ro of 12-18, a mortality rate of about 1-2/10,000 and an MMR vaccination rate in this area of Texas at 82% we should expect to see this expand to many 1000 cases quickly and, unfortunately, potential deaths.

My weekend with immunologists devising new strategies to treat cancer, allergy, Alzheimer’s, autoimmunity and infection. The WH has just paused peer-reviewed NIH funding that pays for these studies. If you care about human life, write your representatives. Demand that NIH funding is restored asap.

Fascinating study where they label CAR T cells and follow their trafficking in patients! Immediate biodistribution is to the liver and spleen, and they can see whether the Car goes into extramedullary masses. What explains differences between patients?
