How Do White Blood Cells Detect Invaders to Destroy?
Research Corner
Scientists are one step closer to understanding how our bodies fight disease thanks to a discovery made at Cedars-Sinai. Researchers here found how a receptor on the surface of white blood cells can tell when invading fungi pose an immediate infectious threat. The discovery provides insight into how the body's immune system saves energy by not wasting its "ammo" on invaders that aren't as serious.

Generous Gift to Name AHSP Lobby
When the Advanced Health Sciences Pavilion opens in 2013, its lobby will be named after businessman George W. Schaeffer, whose recent gift signifies major philanthropic support for the new building.
Schaeffer is the founder, president, and CEO of OPI Products Inc. A portion of Schaeffer's extraordinary gift comes from the George W. Schaeffer Foundation and the remainder is a bequest.
Approximately 1,900 patients, guests, and staff will enter the Advanced Health Sciences Pavilion each day, and all of them will pass through the George W. Schaeffer Lobby on the plaza level. The 11-story, 440,000-square foot facility will house the Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute and neurosciences programs, and provide outpatient procedure suites, diagnostic imaging facilities and other clinical services. The pavilion's research labs are designed to enable physician-scientists to bridge discoveries in the lab to patient care.
