Can T cells be an effective approach to cancer treatment? CAR T-cell therapy, as this cutting-edge treatment is called, uses a patient’s own immune system to help fight cancers in the body. The result is a natural treatment that proves effective against a variety of blood cancers and may have hope for other cancers in the future as well.
T-cells are the workhorses of our immune system and they play a key role in directing the immune response and killing cells infected by pathogens.

LEIDEN, THE NETHERLANDS, February 4, 2025 — Ncardia, a global leader in human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) technology, today announced the launch of Ncyte® Microglia, a groundbreaking tool to advance research in neurodegenerative diseases and central nervous system (CNS) disorders.
Ncyte® Microglia are hiPSC-derived models that closely mimic primary human microglia, exhibiting key functional characteristics such as phagocytosis, cytokine signaling response, and the expression of microglial markers including IBA1, TREM2, and TMEM119. These features make Ncyte® Microglia highly suitable for studying microglial behavior in disease-relevant contexts, assessing immune responses, and enabling high-throughput drug screening applications.
