Cancer-Killing Immune Cells Made From Stem Cells
Jan 04, 2013
Researchers in Japan have for the first time shown it is possible to make cancer-specific immune system cells from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Their work brings closer the day when therapies use cloned versions of patients' own cells to boost their immune system's natural ability to kill cancer cells... Read More

What Is Cervical Screening? What Is The Pap Test?
Jan 04, 2013
Cervical cancer is one of the few preventable cancers. Pre-cancerous cells can be detected before they have developed into cancer. Health authorities say that cervical screening is an important part of public health, because it can stop cervical cancer from developing. Cervical cancer screening involves a doctor or nurse taking a small sample of cells from the surface of the woman's cervix... Read More
