The reality drives the urgent need for novel and more effective astrocytoma treatments. Astrocytoma group of neoplasms includes relatively slow-growing grades I–III and grade IV – glioblastoma, mentioned among the most lethal cancers. In the U.S., gliomas strike roughly 6 per 100,000 people annually. That is, each year, about 25,400...

Conventional treatment for pulmonary fibrosis offers limited hope — it slows progression but never reverses damage or restores lung function. Dendritic cell immunotherapy is a novel approach that trains the immune system to eliminate the specific cells that cause lung scarring and protect healthy tissue. This approach works.
