بالنسبة للعديد من الأطباء والباحثين، يُعتبر العلاج المناعي الذي يستخدم الجهاز المناعي للشخص نفسه لاستهداف الخلايا السرطانية ومهاجمتها هو الخطوة التالية والأفضل في علاج السرطان. العلاج بالخلايا التائية ذات مستقبلات المستضدات الخيمرية، أو ما يُعرف باسم العلاج بخلايا CAR-T، هو أحد أنواع العلاج المناعي. يُشبه أحيانًا "الدواء الذكي" أو "الدواء الحي"، حيث يعتمد العلاج بالخلايا التائية المستقبلة للمستضدات الخيمرية على خلايا مناعية معدلة وراثيًا للتعرف على الخلايا السرطانية وتدميرها.

University of Pittsburgh researchers are the first to trace one of those pollutants, nitrogen, along the U.S. beef supply chain at the county level. They found high spatial disconnect between where beef is eaten and where nitrogen’s impacts are felt.
For many doctors and researchers, immunotherapy that uses someone’s own immune system to target and attack cancer cells is the next and best frontier of cancer treatment. Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy, or CAR-T cell therapy, is one type of immunotherapy. Sometimes likened to a “smart drug” or “living drug,” CAR-T cell therapy relies on genetically modified immune cells to recognize and destroy cancer cells.
A recent surgeon general’s advisory outlining an urgent need to support increasingly stressed-out parents highlights an important and growing issue, says a Virginia Tech expert. Rosanna Breaux, a psychologist at Virginia Tech who directs the Child Study Center, said how well parents manage their emotions is crucial for their own parenting experience and for the health of both themselves and their children.
Para muchos médicos e investigadores, la inmunoterapia, que utiliza el propio sistema inmunitario de la persona para identificar y atacar las células cancerosas, es la mejor y la siguiente frontera del tratamiento contra el cáncer. La terapia con células T con receptor de antígeno quimérico, o terapia con células CAR-T, es un tipo de inmunoterapia. Ocasionalmente comparada con una "droga inteligente " o una" droga viva", la terapia con células CAR-T se basa en células inmunitarias genéticamente modificadas para reconocer y destruir las células cancerosas.
Ketamine, whether given as an IV, a nasal spray or sublingual, may harm a developing fetus, but a study shows clinics vary greatly in handling patients who could become pregnant during treatment.
