Vanderbilt researchers found that T cells become “exhausted” within hours of encountering a tumor, challenging existing ideas about how T cells become dysfunctional.

A broad bioinformatics approach revealed that Hedgehog signaling is upregulated in dedifferentiated liposarcoma, suggesting this pathway may be an early indicator of poor prognosis and a potential therapeutic target.

Each passing day is precious for Deneen Eastridge, but a decade is a priceless gift. The Dallas resident came to Nashville recently to meet Trina Hughes, the stem cell donor who gave her the gift of life 10 years ago.
