Knee joints of a study participant before and after treatment

Caption

Patients own immune cells genetically modified in the laboratory, track down the disease driving B cells, even deep within tissues. Inflammatory foci such as those seen here around the knee joints of a study participant (magenta) are no longer detectable even several months after CD19-CAR T-cell therapy (right in the PET-MRI image). Swelling and pain have subsided, with improved mobility.
