- Title
Could Baking Soda Fight Leukemia Relapse After Stem Cell Transplant?
- Authors
Hampton, Tracy
- Abstract
The article discusses a study published in "Science Translational Medicine" on the potential of baking soda to boost donor lymphocytes' ability to overcome relapse after stem cell transplants in patients with leukemia and other hematological malignancies. Topics include an investigation of how leukemia cells escape the immune system after transplantation, the association between metabolic changes and nutrient or medication intake, and the reduced glycolysis exhibited by T cells after relapse.
