Engineered Matrix to Improve T Cell Immunotherapy
Researchers from Johns Hopkins University have developed an “artificial lymph node” to help multiply antigen-specific T cells to fight cancer. They used a hydrogel that contains immunostimulatory antigen-presenting nanoparticles to encourage T cells to proliferate, and have increased activity against specific antigens. Current T-cell based therapies for cancer involve extraction and expansion of T cells. The current approach could make T-cell therapies more potent.
The researchers isolated T cells from mice, cultured them for a week with the immunostimulating hydrogel, and re-injected them once the tumors had grown. In...

Health Care after a Near-Death Experience – Call for Stories
Narrative Inquiry in Bioethics will publish a collection of personal stories from individuals who have had a near-death experience (NDE) following resuscitation in a medical or surgical setting.
Studies have found that 10 – 20% of persons who are resuscitated after nearly dying have an out- of-body experience accompanied by a variety of perceptions such as traveling through a tunnel of light, feeling loved, or being received by deceased loved ones. Most NDEs are highly positive experiences, but a percentage are described as hellish, which can be traumatizing to patients. Few patients spontaneously report these ...
