Researchers identify T cells that protect against ischemic stroke in mice University of Pittsburgh neurologists and immunologists have identified a subset of CD8+ regulatory-like T cells (CD8+TRLs) that provide fast-acting and lasting protection against ischemic stroke in mice, offering a potentially novel immunotherapy for stroke in humans.Read More
Machine learning model opens door to real-time detection of cell therapy contamination Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Singapore site have developed a new way to detect adventitious microbial contamination in mesenchymal stromal cell cultures. By using machine learning to predict if a culture is contaminated in near real-time, the approach could enable testing to take place during the production of cell therapy products.Read More
