3908 results for "mantle cell lymphoma"
Scientists at MD Anderson Cancer Center are testing a breakthrough cell therapy that could finally bring hope to patients with hard-to-treat T-cell lymphoma. The new approach overcomes a major obstacle that previously made this personalized cancer treatment impossible for these patients.
The FDA just approved Beqalzi, the first BCL2 inhibitor for patients with relapsed mantle cell lymphoma who've tried other treatments. Over half the patients in trials responded to the new therapy, offering fresh hope for those with limited options.
A breakthrough "off-the-shelf" CAR-T therapy eliminated residual cancer cells three times more effectively than standard care in lymphoma patients. The treatment could prevent cancer recurrence in high-risk patients for the first time.
A new stem cell transplant developed at Johns Hopkins has cured sickle cell disease in 95% of patients, using half-matched donors like parents or siblings. The breakthrough means nearly every sickle cell patient can now access a cure that also preserves fertility.
Children with sickle cell disease now have a survival rate exceeding 95% thanks to breakthrough stem cell transplant techniques. New treatments are also opening curative options for kids who previously had no donor matches.
The FDA just approved two new treatment combinations for cancer patients who've run out of options. These approvals bring fresh hope to people battling mantle cell lymphoma.
Beloved Australian comedian Magda Szubanski announced she's in remission after completing chemotherapy for stage four mantle cell lymphoma. The Kath and Kim star shared the "fantastic news" nine months after her rare blood cancer diagnosis.
Researchers are creating "virtual cells" using AI that could revolutionize how we understand disease and discover new treatments. These computer models simulate real cell behavior by learning from massive biological datasets.
St. David's South Austin became the first hospital globally to enroll a patient in a groundbreaking lymphoma treatment trial. The new therapy targets cancer cells in ways previous treatments couldn't reach, offering hope to patients who've run out of options.
Scientists in China have discovered how to turn a single stem cell into 14 million powerful cancer fighters, potentially making lifesaving treatment available to thousands more patients. The breakthrough slashes costs and could transform how we treat leukemia and other cancers.
Researchers discovered brain cells may organize themselves using a surprisingly simple rule: stick close to your cellular relatives. This breakthrough could help explain how a single cell transforms into a functioning human brain.
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.
Researchers in Brazil discovered a molecule that acts like armor for cancer cells, protecting them from natural cell death. By turning off this shield in the lab, they made aggressive tumor cells vulnerable again.
Japan just approved the first commercially available stem cell treatments for Parkinson's disease and heart failure, bringing hope to millions worldwide. Patients could receive these groundbreaking therapies as early as this summer.
Researchers successfully transformed human blood cells into immature sperm cells using stem cell technology and living mice. While mature sperm remain out of reach, this breakthrough opens new paths to understanding and treating male infertility.
Japan just greenlit insurance coverage for a groundbreaking Parkinson's treatment that uses stem cells to replace damaged brain cells. It's the first time regenerative medicine using iPS cells will be available to patients anywhere in the world.
Researchers at Lund University spent four years building a library of 400 factors that can reprogram ordinary cells into rare disease-fighting immune cells. They've already created six "recipes" and successfully made natural killer cells that attack cancer.
Jessica Ceja became the first person in Maryland to receive groundbreaking gene therapy that could cure her lifelong sickle cell disease. Her own cells were reengineered in a lab to produce healthy red blood cells, potentially ending decades of pain.
Sutter Health enrolled its first patient in a groundbreaking cancer trial that could stop lymphoma from returning before it's even visible on scans. The treatment brings cutting-edge cellular therapy to the East Bay, eliminating the need for patients to travel to distant medical centers.
A new gene therapy approach at Boston Children's Hospital collects and prepares sickle cell treatment in just seven weeks instead of six months, making life-changing care faster and more accessible. The breakthrough has already helped 36 patients and is expanding to Brazil and India.
