Fehniger Lab

The end of an era... I'll miss everyone in the @LabFehniger. Thank you to both past & present members who made my grad school experience so wonderful. I'll miss you all.

Check out @Jenn__Tran from @WashUOnc presenting on molecular mechanisms and cellular dynamics of cytokine-induced memory NK cells at the #ASH23 poster session tonight! #NKcell ash.confex.com/ash/2023/webpr… @SitemanCenter @WUSTLdbbs @WUSTLmed @FoltzPhd

CONGRESS | #ASH23 | Sergio Rutella, @TrentUni shares data on W-NK, concluding that W-NK cells are effective against AML cells under culture conditions to mimic hypoxia and immunosuppressive TME. W-NK is also observed to persist in BM tissues, to control AML in vivo. #AMLsm #leusm

#ScienceSaturday Did you know that in some animals such as #shellfish, cancers can spread from one organism to another? This has not been documented in humans (except in rare cases of organ transplantation) and our well developed immune system would reject a cancer cell from someone else, in a reaction termed an alloresponse. And don’t worry, you can’t catch #cancer from eating shellfish! Here’s an excellent article by the New York Times describing these cancers: nyti.ms/3ZM5l1q

Researchers at @WUSTLmed have received a grant from the @NIH to investigate immune responses to a cancer-causing virus after organ transplantation in children. #WUDeptMedicine Todd A. Fehniger, MD, PhD, @WashUOnc is one of the principal investigators. l8r.it/c1Y8

Clinical Day at #NK2023 is finally here, officially opened by Kalle Malmberg, we are all super excited to learn the latest on clinical developments on NK cells!
