Gamma delta T cells: a rising star in cancer therapy

Drug Target Review

These include engineering the cells to express cytokines that promote their maturation and/or differentiation, and engineering drug-resistant γδ T cells that can be combined with chemotherapies, which stress cancer cells but would otherwise also deplete the T-cell population. and MBA students with real-world consulting experiences.

Scaling Phage Therapy

Codon

Such contaminants could have the same toxic effects as the bacterial infection, or provoke a severe immune response in the patient, and therefore the phage mixtures must go through extensive purification and testing procedures. The resulting data are fed into an analytical engine that runs millions of simulations. aeruginosa, S.

Synthetic Origins

Codon

A gene encoding green fluorescent protein was placed alongside one of the three promoters, and as the engineered cells cycled from one gene to the next, they blinked between green—dark—green—dark. These papers became the standard-bearers for a new scientific field: synthetic biology. Another one is immunogenicity.
