Novel therapeutic approach identified for overcoming resistance in B-cell leukemia

Despite having an overall survival rate of 94%, B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), the most common childhood cancer, can prove challenging to treat, with survival among relapsed or resistant cases falling between 30-50%.

Study reveals waning antibody response to monkeypox vaccine over time

New research to be presented at this year's European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ECCMID 2024) in Barcelona, Spain (27-30 April) shows that the antibodies produced by Modified Vaccinia virus Ankara - Bavarian Nordic (MVA-BN) vaccination against mpox wane significantly within a year of receiving the vaccination – but in people with pre-existing immunity due to childhood smallpox vaccination in childhood, antibody levels remain high in almost all cases.

Turning back the clock on aging immune systems: New treatment rejuvenates elderly defenses

Study demonstrated that selectively reducing myeloid-biased hematopoietic stem cells (my-HSCs) in aged mice rejuvenated the immune system, enhanced lymphopoiesis, reduced inflammation, and improved responses to viral infection, highlighting a potential strategy for countering age-related immune decline.

Scientists uncover four proteins that govern the identity of anaplastic large cell lymphoma

A collaboration between scientists from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute uncovered four proteins that govern the identity of anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), an aggressive form of cancer.

Concomitant pharmacotherapy overcomes immunotherapy challenges in aggressive blood cancer

Researchers at the University of Zurich and the University Hospital Zurich have discovered that a specific mutation in the cancer cells of an aggressive type of blood cancer can prevent novel immunotherapies such as CAR T-cell therapy from working.

Immune cell protein identified as potential target for rare liver cancer treatment

Fibrolamellar carcinoma (FLC) is a rare liver cancer with a poor prognosis if not addressed early with surgery. The disease is caused by a single genetic mutation that creates a fusion protein.

MRI and lumbar puncture may not be necessary for managing CAR T-cell associated toxicities

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and lumbar puncture (LP) may not always be necessary for diagnosing and managing a serious neurological complication associated with CAR T-cell therapy, according to a new Blood Advances study.

New insights into upper tract urothelial carcinoma evolution and treatment

Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine have performed the most comprehensive analysis to date of cancer of the ureters or the urine-collection cavities in the kidney, known as upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC).

Scientists aim to understand why T cells do not sustain energy in tumors

T cells are often called "assassins" or "killers" because they can orchestrate and carry out missions to hunt down bacteria, viruses, and cancer cells throughout the body.

Machine learning classifier reduces the time to identify personalized tumor reactive T cell receptors

Making a personalized T cell therapy for cancer patients currently takes at least six months; scientists at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) and the University Medical Center Mannheim have shown that the laborious first step of identifying tumor-reactive T cell receptors for patients can be replaced with a machine learning classifier that halves this time.

DNA origami vaccine DoriVac paves way for personalized cancer immunotherapy

Therapeutic cancer vaccines are a form of immunotherapy in the making that could not only destroy cancer cells in patients, but keep a cancer from coming back and spreading.

15 Mar 2024

Researchers identify T-cell subsets as effective therapeutic target for preventing transplant rejection

Houston Methodist researchers identified a troublesome subset of T-cells in transplant recipients that may be a more effective therapeutic target for preventing transplant rejection in patients.

Novel CAR-T therapy shows promising results in glioblastoma patients

A collaborative project to bring the promise of cell therapy to patients with a deadly form of brain cancer has shown dramatic results among the first patients to receive the novel treatment.

13 Mar 2024

Novel dual-target CAR T cell therapy shows promise in treating recurrent glioblastoma

Targeting two brain tumor-associated proteins-;rather than one-;with CAR T cell therapy shows promise as a strategy for reducing solid tumor growth in patients with recurrent glioblastoma (GBM), an aggressive form of brain cancer, according to early results from the first six patients treated in an ongoing Phase I clinical trial led by researchers from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and Penn Medicine's Abramson Cancer Center.

mRNA vaccines train T cells in waves, study shows

mRNA vaccines developed against the spike glycoprotein of severe acute respiratory syndrome type 2 coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), displayed remarkable efficiency in combating coronavirus 19 (COVID-19).

Sleep boosts immune cell mobility toward lymph nodes

Researchers at LMU Munich have shown that sleep enhances the migratory potential of T cells toward lymph nodes.

Man takes 217 COVID vaccines with no ill effects, shows immune boost

A case report of a 62-year-old man receiving 217 SARS-CoV-2 vaccinations over 29 months reveals no adverse effects, increased T-cells, and spike-specific antibodies, providing unique insights into the effects of hyper-vaccination on immune responses.
