Researchers at the Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute have developed an innovative diagnostic assay to identify cells resistant to leukemia treatment.
Representative flow cytometric study of the alkaline phosphatase activity in a patient of the ALP ? 12% group. Alkaline phosphatase positive cells are represented in combination with CD34 staining at diagnosis (upper row) and after relapse (lower row). Reference contour plots for two bone [Read More...]
Multiple doses of stem cells show potential in treating severe asthma
A study released today in STEM CELLS Translational Medicine (SCTM) describes how multiple doses of a type of stem cell called mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) might offer a new way to treat people suffering from severe asthma.
An asthma attack is triggered by allergens entering the lungs and causing swelling of the airways. This sets off a domino effect that results in narrowing of the airways from the nose and mouth to the lungs. The most [Read More...]
