The phrase
"cell killing" means to destroy or eliminate cells.
Full definition
So in the mice we found that each of the CAR
T cells killed about 40 tumor cells, and as I said in humans they killed more than 1,000 tumor cells.
The condition results when one's own
immune cells kill insulin - making cells called beta cells housed in the pancreas.
«Loophole for cancer cells found:
Cancer cells kill blood vessel cells so that they can slip through the vascular wall, form metastases.»
In fact, our white
blood cells kill bacteria and viruses by releasing hydrogen peroxide and other compounds we call free radicals.
The researchers, working with cell cultures, first observed how individual
tumour cells kill specific cells in the vascular wall, called endothelial cells.

cells they killed in the haze of «Free Lunch & Free Drinks» created by their friendly neighbourhood search engine.
Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Heart and Lung Research in Bad Nauheim and Goethe University Frankfurt have now shown that tumour
cells kill specific cells in the vascular wall.
Compared to other types of immune cells, Natural
Killer cells kill these cells quickly.
«Large aggregates of ALS - causing protein might actually help brain cells: UNC School of Medicine scientists add to evidence that small aggregates of SOD1 protein are the brain -
cell killing culprits in ALS, but the formation of larger, more visible, and fibril - like aggregates of the same protein may protect brain cells.»
«We could get some shrinkage of the tumours with other types of treatment we tried before, but we never got a
complete cell kill,» he says.
They are primarily being used to package and deliver the current generation of cancer
cell killing drugs and progress is being made in that effort.
Cancer
cells kill most often by crawling away from their original tumors to later re-root in vital parts of the body in a process called metastasis.
Meng and Nel also collaborated with Dr. Timothy Donahue, chief of gastrointestinal and pancreatic surgery and a Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center member, to demonstrate that treatment with the iRGD peptide can enhance tumor
cell killing for patient - derived pancreatic cancers, growing subcutaneously in a mouse model.
But Denise Faustman seems to be right about a strategy to regrow insulin -
making cells killed off in diabetes
On average, the modified T
cells killed over a kilogram of tumor cells in each patient.
Researchers observed
average cell killing of 34.3 percent in those with classic HELLP, and 26 percent in atypical HELLP compared to an average 5 percent in those with normal pregnancies and 3.3 percent in those who were not pregnant.
These experiments were essential to understanding the effect of gemcitabine on cell cycle and the effective scheduling of checkpoint inhibitor for maximal
malignant cell kill.
AAV2
mediated cell killing of multiple breast cancer cell lines representing both low and high grades of cancer and targeted the cancer cells independent of hormone or growth factor classification.
NK cells kill infected cells by releasing small cytoplasmic granules that trigger cell death (apoptosis).
Most immune cells that die during HIV infection are seemingly not infected, a phenomenon formerly described as «
bystander cell killing.»
Eating minimal protein helps in two ways: it deprives bacteria of amino acids necessary for growth, like tryptophan; and it promotes autophagy, the primary means by
which cells kill intracellular pathogens.
Earlier we discussed how the barrage of cytokines and white blood
cells kills p.acnes and also causes collateral damage.
In addition to it's potent cancer
cell killing properties, Frankincense acts as a potent anti-inflammatory and immune system boosting medicine in the body and can likely benefit any disease or condition.
The radiation within the
abnormal cells kills those cells generally sparing normal tissue and adjacent parathyroid tissue.
The researchers also found that when they delivered an antibody, IL - 2, and T cells targeted to the tumor, the adoptively transferred
T cells killed cancer cells much more successfully than when only T cells were delivered.
The model will be a valuable tool for studying how stem cells give rise to the various cells of the immune system, how
immune cells kill cancer cells and fight infections, and how immune cells respond to radiation and chemotherapy, two major treatments for many cancers.
«We showed that antibodies produced against mutant GAC antigen helped human white
blood cells kill the pathogen and protected mice from lethal strep infection,» said Jason Cole, PhD, a visiting project scientist from the University of Queensland, Australia, and co-lead author of the paper.
Inactivating those genes rendered the cancer cells sensitive to T -
cell killing.
Proteins don't fold properly; the whole cell gets frustrated by having misfolded proteins, so
the cell kills itself.
High pulse energies are for raw substrate treatment yielding a high level of
cell killing and disintegration while moderate pulse protocols are used for recirculate where the focus lies on the control of the microbial community.
But when the team grew the bugs together in mouse nasal passages, the mouse's immune
cells killed off the Streptococcus strain.
Scientists studying cancer have long grappled with how to make these T
cells kill tumor cells.
Hypoxic cells are relatively resistant to radiotherapy, requiring up to three times the radiation dose as normal cells to result in the same level of
cell killing.
When the T
cells kill the tumor cells, they trigger inflammation, and that causes the fever.
One is that our CAR T
cells kill all cells that have CD19.
Due to
its cell killing effect, radiation therapy is widely used as a primary source of treatment for numerous types of cancers.
One end of the BiTE binds to a molecule on T cells, and the other end binds to a molecule called CD19 on cancer cells; by bringing the two together, the BiTE facilitates cancer
cell killing.
