  <title><![CDATA[Working Smarter: Improving Personalized Stem Cell Treatments for Kids]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>Stem cell therapies are improving recovery and survival rates for pediatric cancer patients. But the treatments can be risky. They can weaken the immune system, making children highly vulnerable to infections. And there are other potential long-term complications, including damage to tissues and organs.</p><p>A team of researchers at Georgia Tech has addressed this challenge, creating a new way to predict how these cutting-edge treatments might work in a particular patient. And it could revolutionize treatments for kids with complex immune system challenges.</p><p>Read full story <a href="https://bme.gatech.edu/bme/news/working-smarter-improving-personalized-stem-cell-treatments-kids">here</a>.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>]]></body>

  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
