T cell therapy linked to long-term remissions in children with brain tumours | PET
14+ hour, 58+ min ago (261+ words) An experimental autologous T cell therapy has shown encouraging early results in children with aggressive brain tumours. Brain and spinal cord tumours are the second most common childhood cancers, accounting for more than 25 percent of paediatric cancer cases in the…...
Base editing reveals gene essential for human embryo formation | PET
3+ week, 15+ hour ago (221+ words) Using base editing, a highly precise method of genome editing, scientists have investigated the role of the NANOG gene in human embryos for the first time with this approach. 'A better understanding will help stem cell research and regenerative medicine,…...

Neurons break and repair their DNA during brain development | PET
3+ week, 14+ hour ago (229+ words) Neurons can experience and repair DNA breaks during healthy brain development, particularly as they migrate through tightly packed regions of the developing brain. 'The developing brain appears to have evolved to tolerate and repair the neuronal damage efficiently,' said Professor…...
Improved embryo models reveal mechanisms of early human development | PET
2+ mon, 2+ day ago (252+ words) A simplified stem-cell-based embryo model (SCBEM) – a model of the early human embryo – has revealed a key mechanism required for blastocyst cavity formation. Dr Mo Li, an associate professor of biomedical sciences at KAUST who led this study, said: 'Early…...
