A team of researchers from the Institute for Neurosciences, a joint center of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and the Miguel Hernández University (UMH) of Elche, in collaboration with researchers from Columbia University (New York, USA), has identified a mechanism that regulates the production of two different proteins from the same gene. This discovery, … Read more
Researchers have developed a new method to grow T cells that have greater longevity and can more efficiently destroy cancer cells in mouse models of melanoma compared to those grown in traditional growth media Study: Redirecting glucose flux during in vitro expansion generates epigenetically and metabolically superior T cells for cancer immunotherapy.
