Study provides a new and promising strategy for future cancer immunotherapies

CD8+ T cells, a vital component of the immune system that provides immunity against cancer, have been the focal point of anti-cancer therapies.

Study raises new hopes for blood cancer patients with an incomplete response to CAR T cell therapy

The aim of immunotherapy strategies is to use cells in the patient's own immune system to destroy tumor cells. CAR T cell therapy is an immunotherapy that is effective in treating blood cancer.

How lipid metabolites in the gut aid in regulatory T-cell differentiation

Researchers describe the Treg-cell-inducing activity of lipid extracts from the feces of specific-pathogen-free mice.

Phase III ZUMA-7 trial: Patients with high-risk large B-cell lymphoma lived longer with axi-cel

Patients with early relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma had significantly improved overall survival when treated with the chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel) when compared to the current standard-of-care chemoimmunotherapy, according to results of the Phase III ZUMA-7 trial reported by researchers from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.

A SARS-CoV-2 spike-targeting bispecific T-cell engager strategy for controlling SARS-CoV-2 infection

Researchers described a novel strategy for controlling severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2.

Fred Hutch experts highlight research on cancer treatment advances, survivorship and precision oncology at ASCO

At the 2023 American Society for Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting—to be held June 2-6 in Chicago, Illinois—Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center experts will present research spanning survivorship, advances in treatments and clinical trials, how access to cancer care affects outcomes, integrative medicine and more.

Multiple sclerosis: Immune cell invasion enabled by blood-brain barrier breakdown

Blood-brain barrier breakdown in multiple sclerosis leads to immune cell infiltration into the central nervous system. Antigen presentation at the barrier promotes CD8+ T cell entry, triggering focal breakdown and hindering their invasion.

High levels of memory killer cells correlate with better survival in melanoma patients

Our skin contains specialized long-lived killer cells that protect against intruders. Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden and the University of Copenhagen in Denmark have now identified how these cells are formed, and shown that high levels of memory killer cells in cancer tissue correlate with a better survival rate in people with melanoma.

The immunopathology of post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection: highlighting the knowledge gaps

The immunopathology of post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC).

31 May 2023

Novel treatment targets against natural killer/T-cell lymphoma identified

A team of researchers from the Cancer Science Institute of Singapore (CSI Singapore) at the National University of Singapore has discovered that a transcription factor, TOX2, was aberrantly increased in patients with Natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (NKTL).

29 May 2023

T-cell-inducing mRNA COVID-19 vaccine improves effectiveness

Researchers develop a lipid nanoparticle-formulated mRNA-based antigen encoding three SARS-CoV-2 peptides derived from non-structural proteins.

25 May 2023

First-in-human nanoparticle HIV vaccine induces broad and publicly targeted helper T cell responses

Researchers from Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle, Scripps Research in La Jolla, California, IAVI and other collaborating institutions have characterized robust T-cell responses in volunteers participating in the IAVI G001 Phase 1 clinical trial to test the safety and immune response of a self-assembling nanoparticle HIV vaccine.

Common diabetes drug could be repurposed as a treatment for autoimmune disorders

Swansea University researchers have found that a drug commonly used to treat type 2 diabetes can potentially be used in the treatment of autoimmune disorders.

25 May 2023

Unraveling the Epstein-Barr virus enigma: The puzzling role in multiple sclerosis development

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has a significant role in the development of multiple sclerosis (MS), with evidence linking EBV infection to increased MS risk and immune dysregulation. Understanding the mechanisms underlying this connection is crucial for advancing MS therapies and prevention strategies.

Breast milk shields newborns: COVID-19 antibodies and microbiota from vaccinated mothers provide dual defense

Research paper discusses the differences in microbiota between high and low IgA subjects after the second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. The study found that certain microbial features in breast milk can predict levels of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in breast milk one week post-second dose.

21 May 2023

Researchers receive $2.3 million to continue development of a new ‘glyco-immune’ checkpoint inhibitor

Researchers from Rice University and Baylor College of Medicine are hoping a first-of-its-kind "glyco-immune" checkpoint inhibitor could be the key to stopping bone cancer metastasis for breast cancer survivors.

19 May 2023

A novel role for macrophage-activation signaling in orchestrating the recruitment process in response to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein

Researchers derived peptides from the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein to assess COVID-19-associated inflammatory changes using zebrafish models.

19 May 2023

How the gut microbiome supports iron uptake by intestinal regulatory T-cells

Research paper discusses the relationship between iron deficiencies and immune tolerance in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. The study shows that high cellular iron levels fostered by pentanoate, a short-chain fatty acid produced by intestinal microbiota, are necessary for the homeostasis of regulatory T cells in the intestine, and iron deficiencies in Treg can result in lethal autoimmune disease.

17 May 2023

Novel computational platform can expand the pool of cancer immunotherapy targets

Researchers at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) have developed a computational platform capable of discovering tumor antigens derived from alternative RNA splicing, expanding the pool of cancer immunotherapy targets.
