The experiment of the miraculous rods
Haygarth was interested in this phenomenon due to the curiosity that gave rise to a treatment that in his time was raging.

In the United States it devastated and its success was such that the son of Perkins abrió a delegation in Great Britain, where each unit sold by 5 guineas (currency that was manufactured with about seven grams of gold and whose original value was equivalent to a pound sterling) , a fortune for the time.

The CAR-T are T lymphocytes of the patient's immune system, reprogrammed genetically to attack only tumor cells. Experts argue that this treatment eliminates, in up to 85% of cases, ALL that is resistant to conventional therapies. The problem is that, despite the high expectations that accompany it, it is a treatment that is quite inaccessible due to its high price in the market.
