Types of CAR-T Cells: Improvements in CAR Design and Construction

By Leave a Comment

What are the types of CAR-T cells and how have they changed in recent years? CAR-T cells are immune cells that are artificially engineered to express a particular chimeric antigen receptor (CAR), which have shown great potential in killing cancer cells. Chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) are artificially produced recombinant receptors having both antigen-binding and T-cell activating potentials.

CARs are composed of an extracellular recognition domain sourced from monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and an intracellular signaling domain including CD3- and costimulatory domains for triggering endogenous signaling pathways of T-cells. [Read more…]

What is Cell Reprogramming and What Does It Mean?

By Leave a Comment

Can you imagine a world where doctors have the power to replace dead, disease-causing cells with healthy ones produced in a laboratory? With continued research into cell reprogramming that future isn’t far off. There have already been several successful trials with this technology. Despite its immense potential and expanding use, many individuals still remain unfamiliar with the concept of cell reprogramming.

So, what is cell reprogramming? And what are some of the obstacles that the field faces today? In this quick summary of cell reprogramming, we’ll answer these questions and more. [Read more…]

Stem Cell Treatment For Hair Loss

By 4 Comments

The latest development in stem cell research – stem cell treatment for hair loss – shows great promise for stimulating new hair growth. It addresses the problem of thinning hair for both men and women.

When hair growth slows with age, many people feel despondent, depressed, less confident, or unhappy. The prospect of a continuing downhill slide makes the situation  worse, which is why stem cell transplant for hair loss has become a large business in the last several decades. [Read more…]

What are Stem Cells? A Short Guide to Everything You Need to Know

By Leave a Comment

Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that have the capacity to both differentiate and multiply into the 200 cells types that form a human being. In total, the human body is composed of an estimated 30 trillion cells, making stem cells extremely important to human development. Stem cells are also found in plants and animals.

The use of stem cells to treat human disease is being investigated within scientific research, as well as thousands of clinical trials worldwide. These cells are bringing hope to  many people worldwide, including patients, researchers, and clinicians.

For the bulk of human history, a serious injury or long-lasting disease meant death. Whether the problem was infection, degeneration or failure of a vital system, healers were at a loss for what to do. The problem? They couldn’t figure out how to replace systems that were damaged. This is where stem cells have the potential to create a paradigm shift.

What exactly are stem cells and how has are they changing the way that diseases and injuries are treated? [Read more…]
