A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) and the Geneva University Hospitals (HUG) has succeeded in identifying a specific marker on the surface of tumour cells, and in generating immune cells ...

Researchers at UNIGE and HUG have created CAR-T cells that can selectively target malignant gliomas, sparing the surrounding healthy tissue. Glioblastoma is the most common and aggressive form of ...

Multiple myeloma is a type of blood cancer that appears mainly after the age of sixty. Its incidence, therefore, increases ...

Glioblastoma is the most common and most aggressive primary brain tumor, with an average survival after diagnosis of less than two years, and against which current treatments remain ineffective. In ...

"One of these markers, PTPRZ1, proved particularly important: we were able to generate CAR-T cells carrying antibodies targeting PTPRZ1. This is a first step towards CAR-T cells effective against ...

Scientists at UNIGE and HUG have developed CAR-T cells capable of targeting malignant gliomas while preserving healthy tissue. Glioblastoma is the most common and most aggressive primary brain ...
