Publications

The scientific background of Modiblast therapy has been described in numerous peer-reviewed publications. Over the years, our Helga Schmetzer has authored a total of more than 200 papers, posters, congress contributions and review articles, of which more than 30 focus on the immunobiology of leukemia. A selection of her papers is listed below.
