reprogrammed

To validate the efficacy of these reprogrammed cells, they were injected into a developing mouse embryo.

Stem cells which make blood will be extracted, reprogrammed to correct the condition and returned to the patient's body.

Researchers led by Professor Christoph Hess have deciphered how the immune cells infected with EBV -- the so-called B cells -- are reprogrammed.

In turn, this additional energy is needed for the increased metabolism and the rapid proliferation of B cells reprogrammed by EBV in this way.

The long-term vision: Within the framework of future therapies, a patient's T cells could be reprogrammed and optimized to recognize and attack these cancer-typical molecules.
