In one patient, total body scans were performed at 15 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, and 4 hours post-injection. The effective dose was 0.022 mSv/MBq, with the stomach wall receiving the highest organ dose ...

Transplantation of RPE-choroid sheet provides an organised cell layer over its own basal lamina, whereas transplantation of RPE-cell suspension has the disadvantage that a limited amount of cells is ...

For years, BAMs were hidden in plain sight, often mistaken for other immune cells. That changed with new tools like fate mapping (tracks a cell’s developmental origin) and single-cell RNA sequencing, ...

Those with sickle cell disease in the United States can have a shortened lifespan into their 50s, and even shorter in other countries. Roughly 100,000 Americans currently suffer from sickle cell ...

"While most organs are thought to be shaped by static, brick-like cells, our study highlights the powerful role of dynamic, migrating cells—and how they work together to sculpt living tissue ...

AstraZeneca Plc said a handful of patients with lupus went into remission after getting an experimental treatment, as the UK drugmaker plows billions into the growing area of cell therapy called ...
