Scientists have identified why a particular cancer drug is so effective at killing cells. Professor Daniel Davis and his team used high quality video imaging to investigate why the drug rituximab is so effective at killing cancerous B cells. It is widely used in the treatment of B cell malignancies, such as lymphoma and leukaemia - as well as in autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis. Using high-powered laser-based microscopes, researchers ...Saturday, 27 April 2013
