4. T vs. B: Re-engineered human T cells effectively target and kill cancerous B cells
   09-18-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Human white blood cells, engineered to recognize other malignant immune cells, could provide a novel therapy for patients with highly lethal B cell cancers such as acute lymphoblastic leukemia, according to researchers at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. By administering repeated doses of T cells designed to express an artificial receptor which recognizes human B cells, the researchers were able to eradicate cancer in 44 percent of mice bearing human ALL tumors.

9. Fat stem cells being studied as option for breast reconstruction
   10-26-2006 · EurekAlert!
   Breast cancer survivors might one day avoid the prospect of invasive breast reconstruction surgery, opting instead for an approach that would involve using stem cells from their own fat, suggest researchers who are studying the potential these cells may have for regenerating new breast tissue. In animal models, they hope to prove that an injection of fat stem cells that are seeded onto microscopic scaffold structures will enable production of durable, replacement soft tissue.
