Jurassic Park star Sam Neill has announced he's cancer-free after a groundbreaking CAR T-cell therapy trial eliminated his aggressive blood cancer. The 78-year-old actor is now championing broader access to the revolutionary treatment that saved his life when traditional chemotherapy failed.
Scientists have discovered that a cancer treatment called CAR T-cell therapy can stop autoimmune diseases like lupus and multiple sclerosis without the dangerous side effects. Hundreds of patients are already experiencing remarkable recoveries, and the first treatments could be approved next year.
A groundbreaking cell therapy has successfully treated stiff person syndrome, a rare neurological disorder that causes severe muscle stiffness and mobility problems. If approved by the FDA this summer, it would become the first treatment for the condition and the first personalized CAR-T therapy for any autoimmune disease.
Actor Sam Neill announced he has no cancer in his body, four years after his stage three lymphoma diagnosis nearly ended his life. The Jurassic Park star credits an innovative therapy that genetically modifies blood cells to attack cancer.
China has approved the world's first CAR-T cell therapy designed to treat solid tumors, breaking through a barrier that has stumped cancer researchers for decades. The treatment offers new hope for thousands of advanced gastric cancer patients who have run out of options.
China just approved the first CAR T-cell therapy ever designed to treat solid tumors, offering new hope to advanced gastric cancer patients who've run out of options. This breakthrough could reshape how doctors treat stomach, pancreatic, and other difficult cancers.
Actor Sam Neill is cancer-free after a groundbreaking treatment that turns the body's own immune cells into cancer-fighting superweapons. Scientists say we've only scratched the surface of what's possible.
Mount Sinai researchers discovered that focused radiation helps CAR-T therapy work better against tough-to-treat solid tumors like lung cancer and melanoma. The breakthrough could make this life-saving treatment safer and more effective for thousands of cancer patients.
Scientists are repurposing a powerful cancer treatment to "reset" the immune systems of people with severe autoimmune diseases, and early results show patients going into complete remission. This breakthrough could transform treatment for millions living with conditions like lupus and multiple sclerosis.
A German woman who spent weeks bedridden with three life-threatening autoimmune diseases is now symptom-free after a single treatment with engineered immune cells. She hasn't needed medication since receiving the therapy that doctors called her "last chance."
Cancer specialists just published the first comprehensive guide to help patients thrive years after groundbreaking CAR-T cell therapy. The new roadmap tackles a crucial gap as more blood cancer patients survive longer than ever before.
A groundbreaking UK trial used CAR T-cell therapy, originally designed for cancer, to send five lupus patients into remission within three months. One patient who couldn't walk without pain just two years ago recently went Alpine skiing for the first time.
Two patients who spent years waiting for kidney transplants with nearly zero chance of finding a match just received new organs thanks to cancer-fighting cells repurposed for transplant medicine. The breakthrough could help 5,000 highly sensitized Americans waiting for kidneys.
A breakthrough immune therapy is transforming multiple myeloma from a disease that always returned into one where patients can reach long-term remission. More than 36,000 Americans diagnosed this year now have access to treatments once considered impossible.
Twenty people with smoldering multiple myeloma have zero detectable cancer cells after receiving an aggressive immunotherapy treatment. The results are so complete that researchers are cautiously using a word they usually avoid: cure.
Scientists discovered that making cancer cells physically stiffer dramatically improved CAR T-cell therapy results in mice with severe skin cancer. This breakthrough could help save more lives by making one of medicine's most promising cancer treatments even more effective.
The FDA just granted breakthrough status to a promising new CAR T-cell therapy designed to fight aggressive blood cancers. This designation could speed up access to a treatment that harnesses the immune system's power to target previously hard-to-treat malignancies.
Five lupus patients in the UK achieved remission using CAR T-cell therapy, a cancer treatment now showing promise for autoimmune diseases. One woman celebrated by skiing the Alps and dancing at her daughter's wedding for the first time in years.
Nine patients with aggressive cancers are responding to a groundbreaking cell therapy that works like an on-off switch, avoiding the exhaustion problem that has limited cancer treatments. The therapy showed zero serious side effects and actual tumor shrinkage in patients who had already tried four other treatments.
Five people with severe lupus are now in remission after receiving a groundbreaking therapy that reprogrammed their own immune cells, marking what doctors call a potential cure for the chronic disease. One patient who couldn't walk from pain recently skied and danced at her daughter's wedding.
