Researchers at the Dr. Karl Remeis Observatory, the Astronomical Institute of the Erlangen Center for Astroparticle Physics (ECAP) at FAU, used an X-ray telescope to scan the skies for X-ray emitting sources. The consortium has now published the largest catalog of X-ray sources to date sources in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics.
One single infusion with CAR-T cells replaces immune-suppressive medicines
In March 2021, doctors from FAU treated a young woman with a severe autoimmune disease with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cells, the first time a treatment of this kind has been attempted anywhere in the world. Today, ne...
