WE ARE PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THAT RESEARCHERS IN HUANG LAB AT THE CASE MEDICAL SCHOOL HAVE PUBLISHED AN ARTICLE

TITLED

“FOCAL TRANSIENT CNS VESSEL LEAK PROVIDES A TISSUE NICHE FOR SEQUENTIAL IMMUNE CELL ACCUMULATION DURING THE ASYMPTOMATIC PHASE OF EAE INDUCTION.”

Two of our Scholarship recipients, Dr. David Askew and Robert Purgert, assisted in the research study and article development.

According to Dr. Alex Huang results of the study help researchers better understand…

1) how immune cells cross the blood-brain barrier during the development of autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis can be a knowledge base for improving anti-tumor immune cells to cross the same blood brain barrier when used to fight cancers in the brain.
And,
2) how immune cells (lymphocytes such as T cells and B cells) cross the blood brain barrier will also help us understand and prevent leukemia cells crossing the blood brain barrier from the blood to CNS metastasis.
And, of course, there is always the curiosity of how things actually work in this wonderful body that God gives to each of us!
