It is a type of immunotherapy where doctors collect immune cells, modify them in a laboratory, and provide them the power to easily recognize and kill cancer cells. When infused into a patient, the cells get multiplied and stay in the body as living drugs. T-cells form the backbone of CAR-T cell therapy. T-cells are the workhorses of our immune system and play a key role in directing the immune response and killing cells infected by pathogens. In CAR-T cell therapy, blood is drawn from the patient and the T-cells are separated out. In the laboratory, a disarmed virus is then used to genetically engineer the T-cells to produce chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) on their surface. These receptors are synthetic and do not exist naturally. Once infused into the patient, these CARs enable the T-cells to recognize and get at ....
Cypriot health authorities on Wednesday advised people aged under 50 to use the Pfizer/BioNTech or Moderna vaccines that are based on the newer, mRNA technology.

May 11, 2021 American doctor and epidemiologist Jonas Salk, who developed the first vaccine against poliomyelitis, looks on as a colleague gives the injection to a woman. Keystone/Getty Images From primitive inoculation techniques to using DNA and mRNA technology, vaccines for the deadliest diseases have come a long way in the past few centuries. Today, people all over the world are alive thanks to these colossal strides in public health. Here are 11 vaccine innovators you should know. 1. Onesimus // Smallpox Onesimus, an enslaved African man, introduced the concept of variolation (a primitive method of immunizing against variola, the smallpox virus) to the Puritans in colonial Boston. In the early 1700s, while still in West Africa, Onesimus had undergone an unusual medical experience: He had pus from an infected person rubbed into an open wound on his arm to ward off disease. This technique was employed in Africa, Turkey, and China to inoculate healthy individ ....
