Doug Olson's terminal cancer was miraculously cured through genetic modification of his own immune cells. While this sounds like it's straight out of a science fiction novel, many cancer patients are currently receiving this revolutionary new cancer treatment: CAR T cell therapy. Learn about the mechanism, side effects, and the exciting future of CAR T cells in this episode of Medicurio.

As an experienced health professional, I'm impressed to see how a graduate student explains in a simple and educational yet scientific way such difficult pharmacological concepts. I encourage you to continue like that, and I am pleased to follow your videos!

Man its been 3 years since you uploaded this. Your presentation animation and style are simple, straight to the point and eye catching. 😍

We don't necessarily need a universal CAR T cell. The process is expensive because right now it's artisanal. You need teams of qualified technicians to perform every step of the process. Once you can slot in the bag of blood received from the hospital into a machine and reliably receive the modified CAR T cells with minimal oversight, a massive portion of the costs will be eliminated. From there, the machine can simply be produced in enough quantities that the economy of scale phenomenon takes hold.

Amazing channel pls don’t stop your narrative is so soo unique and grabs attention. I really watch so many medical, science-related channels but yours are currently the best i have watched. Your graphics. Your details and information are things you don’t see in other channels

My lab works on CAR NK cells. Same killing ability of T cells, no cytokine storm since NK cells do not release as many cytokines

You're so great at explaining difficult Pharmacology concepts and medications! You should do more videos on Meds like antidepressants and anxiolytics. The videos you have though are definitely getting me through PA school. Big thank you for that!
