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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The last decade has seen a revolution in cancer immunotherapy. The demand from doctors, researchers, and pharmaceutical companies for more precise results with high sensitivity and high-quality ...

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 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 ...
