Coming to terms with his unfortunate fate, the patient – a father of three children under five – regretted he hadn’t been able to detect the cancer earlier, when treatment might have been more effective.
Method Enables Lab-Grown T Cells To Live Longer and Better Destroy Cancer Cells
Researchers from the University of Pittsburgh have developed a new way to grow T cells in the lab that enables them to live longer and better destroy cancer cells in a mouse model of melanoma compared to those grown in traditional growth media.
