Neural Stem Cell Therapy May Improve Metastatic Cancer Survival
Neural stem cells engineered by Northwestern Medicine investigators used in combination with the HER2 inhibitor drug tucatinib improved survival in mice with HER2 positive breast cancer brain metastases.
Iron Accumulation Linked with Age-Related Cognitive Decline
Age-related breakdowns in regulatory mechanisms cause iron to build up in the brain, increasing oxidative stress and causing cellular damage, according to a recent Northwestern Medicine study.
Tumors Dramatically Shrink With New Approach to Cell Therapy
