Researchers have developed a novel CAR T-cell therapy for neuroblastoma which uses gating to limit toxicity and T-cell exhaustion.
A new form of CAR T-cell therapy has shown promise in mice models to treat blood cancers; this article delves into the development behind the therapy.
Researchers were able to eradicate breast cancer in mice when they combined CAR T cells with STING pathway agonists and immunotherapeutic antibodies.
Researchers show how genetically engineered five-module chimeric antigen receptor (5MCAR) T cells can be directed to destroy T cells causing autoimmune diseases.
The designers of the Dual Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T cell therapy report it slows HIV replication and leads to a smaller viral reservoir in HIV-infected mice.
Scientists have developed a novel chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy to target a variety of human and murine solid-tumour cancer cells.
An area where stem cell biology and medicine are combining effectively is the establishment of new cell therapies. However, current therapies are limited to a narrow set of cell types that can be isolated or created and expanded in vitro. Dr Owen Rackham discusses how utilising computational approaches will further…
The oncology market is saturated with new drugs that target the immune system, however, these only target part of the problem caused by cancer’s ability to hide from the immune system. Miguel Ferreira discusses why emerging three-drug combinations are poised to redefine the immuno-oncology treatment paradigm in advanced malignancies with…
Scientists from Singapore have argued that T-cell immunotherapy can be used to combat a range of infectious diseases, including COVID-19.
A new CAR T-cell therapy has been created by researchers which targets three proteins on leukaemia cells and has shown success in pre-clinical trials.
Researchers have developed a new CAR T-cell therapy that targets an antigen called glycipan-1 (GPC1), showing efficacy at fighting solid tumours in mice.
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies have produced encouraging clinical outcomes, demonstrating their therapeutic potential in mitigating tumour development. However, another form of T-cell immunotherapy based on T-cell receptors (TCR) has also shown great potential in this field. Here, Nikki Withers speaks to Miguel Forte who elaborates on the process…
Researchers have created a method to activate CAR T cells with blue LED light to successfully combat solid tumours in mice.
The mechanism that prevents destruction of cancer cells by CAR T-cell therapy has been identified by researchers in Pennsylvania.
