Blood cancers: new generation stem cell transplant significantly reduces complications for patients
The discovery of the UM171 molecule, by Dr. Guy Sauvageau and Anne Marinier, made headlines in 2014 following an article in Science. Hailed by some...
Biosimilar drugs can reduce costs but still face challenges in the US
Biologics used to treat patients can be incredibly expensive, so there was significant hope that biosimilar drugs—which are highly similar to an existing biologic drug...
Implantable cancer traps could provide earlier diagnosis, help monitor treatment
Invasive procedures to biopsy tissue from cancer-tainted organs could be replaced by simply taking samples from a tiny “decoy” implanted just beneath the skin, University...
3-D-printed device finds ‘needle in a haystack’ cancer cells by removing the hay
Finding a handful of cancer cells hiding among billions of blood cells in a patient sample can be like finding a needle in a haystack....
