New technology for producing bioreactor-made cells for cancer treatment

Washington State University has developed a new technology for the development of cells using a bioreactor for cancer therapy. this technique develops cancer-detecting white blood cells (WBC) which supports immunotherapy.

Researchers at Washington State University have created a bioreactor the size of a minifridge that can produce T cells at 95% of their maximal development rate, which is around 30% quicker than what is possible with existing technology. They developed it using T cells from cattle. They expect it will function similarly on human cells.

Pleural mesothelioma (PM): New therapeutic approach to chemo-and radiotherapy sensitivity enhancement by Medical University of Vienna

A recent research study led by Karin Schelch and Michael Grusch from MedUni Vienna identified the oncoprotein YB-1 as an attractive therapeutic target in PM and demonstrates that indirect targeting of YB-1 is a promising approach to enhance sensitivity to chemo- and radiotherapy.
