GVHD Reversed by Extracorporeal Photopheresis-Treated Cells
|
|
|
Cells treated with extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) can reverse graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) by increasing donor regulatory T cells and by indirectly reducing the number of donor effector lymphocytes that have not undergone ECP, according to the findings of a study that used two well-established mouse models.

High Telomerase Activity in Lung Infiltrates Indicates Malignancy Risk
|
|
|
The detection of telomerase activity in aspirates obtained by transthoracic fine-needle biopsy (TFNB) of peripheral lung infiltrates is an indication of a high risk of malignancy in cases with false-negative cytological results, investigators report in the April issue of Thorax.

British Scientists Make Human-Cow Embryos
|
|
|
British researchers say they have created embryos and stem cells using human cells and oocytes of cows, but said such experiments would not lead to hybrid human-animal babies, or even to direct medical therapies. Reuters Health Information
