UCLA team engineers 'triple-threat' immune cells to fight plaque buildup behind heart attacks, strokes (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A UCLA research team has engineered a new type of immune cell that attacks atherosclerotic plaques — the fatty buildup inside artery walls that drives most heart attacks and strokes. These engineered cells work by recognizing three harmful cell types within plaques. In a mouse model, a lab-grown mini blood vessel and artery tissue from patients with severe heart disease, these "triple-threat" cells outperformed a single-target version, clearing out more of the cell types that keep plaques active
UCLA scientists engineer ready-to-use cancer-fighting T cells for solid tumors (opens the original)
Read excerpt
T cell receptor, or TCR, therapy is a cancer treatment that genetically reprograms immune cells, called T cells, to hunt down cancer with precision. It's similar to another treatment, CAR T-cell therapy, but with one key difference: CAR T-cell therapy can only spot proteins that naturally appear outside of a cancer cell. TCR therapy, however, can also catch small protein fragments from inside the cell, which get carried to the surface and displayed like little name tags. This ability gives TCR t
UCLA scientists build 'cell villages' to map the genetics of brain cell fitness (opens the original)
Read excerpt
How readily a cell divides and how well it survives is fundamental to life, shaping everything from organ size to the body’s ability to withstand disease. That combination, known as cell fitness, isn't the same for everyone. Differences in genetics and environment can tip the scales toward developmental disorders, tissue degeneration and cancer. Pinning down those differences could help explain why some people are more vulnerable than others to a given disease or toxic exposure — and eventually
UCLA scientists bring real-world experiences — and pop culture — into LA classrooms (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For many high school students, the term “scientist” conjures someone who doesn’t look like them or share their background. The UCLA Broad Stem Cell Research Center High School Outreach Program sets out to change that, bringing young researchers directly into classrooms for hands-on, interactive presentations. This spring, undergraduate students, graduate students, postdoctoral scholars and early-career physician-scientists — participants in the center’s training programs — presented to more than
