Age of stem cell donor influences survival

A new study suggests that after genetic matching, the age of a stem cell donor is the most important characteristic influencing patient survival following a stem cell transplant. Previous studies have suggested that donor characteristics including sex, ethnicity, blood type and previous pregnancies could all affect patient survival, making it difficult for transplant clinicians to […]

How pathogens interact with organ-on-chip technology

Organ-on-chip technology has entered a new level as scientists at Imperial College London have become the first in the world to test how pathogens interact with artificial human organs. Artificial human organs, or organ-on-chip technology, simulate a whole organ’s cell make up and physiology. They act as alternatives to animal models in drug safety testing, […]
