Persister cells are subpopulations of cells that resist treatment, and become antimicrobial tolerant by changing to a state of dormancy or quiescence. [1] [2] Persister cells in their dormancy do not divide. [3] The tolerance shown in persister cells differs from antimicrobial resistance in that the tolerance is not inherited and is reversible. [4]
Peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT), also called "Peripheral stem cell support", [1] is a method of replacing blood-forming stem cells.Stem cells can be destroyed through cancer treatments such as chemotherapy or radiation, as well as any blood-related diseases, such as leukemia, lymphoma, neuroblastoma and multiple myeloma.

Chemotherapy helps catch as many cells dividing as possible/ However, it is unlikely it will kill every single cancer cell possible, so if the remaining cells aren’t killed off by the immune ...
Cancer treatments are a wide range of treatments available for the many different types of cancer, with each cancer type needing its own specific treatment. [1] Treatments can include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormonal therapy, targeted therapy including small-molecule drugs or monoclonal antibodies, [2] and PARP inhibitors such as olaparib.

The donor T-cells can attack and control the growth of residual cancer cells providing the GVT effect. It is hoped that the donor leukocyte infusion will cause GVT and lead to a remission of the patients cancer. Patients might require standard chemotherapy, to reduce the amount of cancer cells they have prior to their donor lymphocyte infusion.
Catherine, Princess of Wales, says she has completed her chemotherapy after being diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer following abdominal surgery. "As the summer comes to an end, I cannot ...
Elle Macpherson has revealed she has been secretly battling breast cancer, but is now in remission despite refusing chemotherapy against the advice of “32 doctors and experts”.. The supermodel ...
A cell that carries two plasmids from the same incompatibility group will eventually generate two daughter cells carrying either plasmid. Should one of these plasmids encode for a TA system, its "displacement" by another TA-free plasmid system will prevent its inheritance and thus induce post-segregational killing. [ 13 ]
