Genetic Re-programming of Stem Cells to Fight Cancer
There are few options for patients whose cancers have metastasized due to resistance to current therapies. This team is using gene editing technology to modify a patient's own immune system…
Tumor stem cell-targeted immunotherapy for metastatic melanoma –a randomized phase 3 clinical trial.
NeoStem, which later changed its name to Caladrius BioScience, ran a Phase 3 trial targeting cancer stem cells. These cells are believed to be able to survive chemotherapy and other…
