Some studies suggest that the immunoreceptor NKG2D expression on CD8+ T cells is down-regulated and this reduction may be involved in immune evasion in cancer patients. The present study was designed ...

T cells genetically engineered to express a lab-designed chimeric-antigen receptor, or CAR, offer many patients with blood cancer a new treatment option. But while these T cells may have lifesaving ...

How do we “name” a cell and assign its identity? How do we know that we are all talking about the same cells? How do we agree on what it takes to confidently correlate previous with current research ...

Flow cytometry is a way to look closely at the features of cells or particles. A sample of blood or tissue goes into a machine called a cytometer. In less than a minute, a computer can analyze ...

Around the same time, Mack Fulwyler, an engineer working at Los Alamos National Laboratory, needed to separate particles, so he drew on existing techniques to create droplets to separate cells from a ...

Please could you both introduce yourselves and give a brief outline of your roles at Cerba Research? ADB: My name is Ans De Beuckelaer. I have a Ph.D. in biotechnology from the University of Ghent. In ...

Flow cytometry enables researchers to label proteins of interest using fluorophore-conjugated antibodies and other fluorochromes. Much like immunohistochemistry, which produces two- or ...

Flow cytometry is not just a technique. It has matured into a scientific field, one that has become virtually indispensable for most areas of biomedical research. Some of its more well-known ...
