How This Cancer Drug Could Make Radiation a Slam Dunk Therapy

UCSF Health — December 9, 2024

UCSF scientists developed a way to deliver radiation just to cancerous cells, rather than attacking both cancerous and healthy tissue. The therapy combines a drug to mark the cancer cells for destruction and a radioactive antibody to kill them.

Engineered Immune Cells May Be Able to Tame Inflammation

UCSF Health — December 4, 2024

A new technology uses engineered T cells that act as immune “referees” to soothe overreacting immune responses. They also can mop up inflammatory molecules without lowering the entire body’s immune shields.
