New approach for T-cell immunotherapy against malignant brain tumors
Researchers at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) and the University Medical Center Mannheim (UMM) have developed a promising cellular immunotherapy for the treatment of glioblastomas: They equipped T cells with a receptor that recognizes a protein of the brain tumors that is responsible for the dangerous stem cell properties. The therapeutic T cells directed […]

RNA Origami: Artificial Cytoskeletons to Build Synthetic Cells
Synthetic biologists from Heidelberg University create nanotubes folded from the natural RNA biomolecule With the long-term goal of creating living cells from non-living components, scientists in the field of synthetic biology work with RNA origami. This tool uses the multifunctionality of the natural RNA biomolecule to fold new building blocks, making protein synthesis superfluous. In […]
