UF pharmacy researchers have found a potential new way of targeting a population of immune-suppressive T cells that could possibly benefit a large population of cancer patients, including those who will not respond to other immunotherapies.
A tissue-chip experiment led by Siobhan Malany, Ph.D., an associate professor of pharmacodynamics in the University of Florida College of Pharmacy, returned to Earth Jan. 13.
The grant will help to develop novel senolytic agents and identify molecular targets that are important for survival of senescent cells.
The study led by Siobhan Malany, Ph.D., will help scientists understand microgravity effects on human muscle cells and could aid the development of new therapies for age-related muscle loss on Earth.
