More Research on Potency, Efficacy of TILs Is Needed in Melanoma – Targeted Oncology

We dont really know the whole truth about antigen specificity driving TIL efficacy. We know that some of the tumor-reactive TILs represent neoantigen-specific T cells, [whereas] some represent more shared or tumor-associated antigens and some may be viral antigens; however, there is also a population of these tumor-reactive T cells that are still unknown to us, Svane explained.

Limits for human embryo research have been changed : This calls for public debate – Down To Earth Magazine

The new regulation makes it possible to conduct research on human embryos that are at more advanced stages of development For 40 years, research into early human development has been guided by the principle that after 14 days, an embryo should not be used for research and must be destroyed. This rule has been part of the law of more than 12 countries. But new guidelines released by the International Society for Stem Cell Research have removed this rule.

Model Developed To Test Impact of Drugs on BloodBrain Barrier – Technology Networks

Using an experimental model to simulate the blood-brain barrier, scientists in Sweden reported in unprecedented detail how antioxidants protect the brain from inflammation caused by neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. The study, conducted as a proof of concept by brain model developers at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, showed in minute-by-minute detail how the blood-brain barrier reacts to high levels of inflammation after the administration of a next-generation derivative of the widely-used anti-inflammatory drug, NAC (N-acetylcysteine).
