The activation of the protein p53 was shown to boost immune responses against cancer tumours in mice in a new study, potentially widening access to immunotherapy.
Researchers have shown that natural killer cell immunotherapy effectively treated mice harbouring human melanoma tumours.
Dr Björn Frendeus outlines how the growing biology surrounding the inhibitory Fc receptor FcγRIIb defines a target for improving existing and future antibody treatments.
Monoamine oxidase inhibitors can block the function of a protein, helping T cells to effectively fight cancer, a study in mice has shown.
Dr Jo Brewer outlines research into allogeneic products by gene editing stem cells, which has the potential to build a broad family of multiple immune cell types, including T-cell therapies.
Researchers have found a protein that, when inhibited in mice with cancer, increased the response to immunotherapy.
In pre-clinical studies, researchers showed that cord blood-derived natural killer cells and a bispecific antibody eliminated lymphoma cells.
Researchers have found that the gene mesothelin can be targeted by new antibody-drug conjugates to treat acute myeloid leukaemia in children.

In this article, Dr Lien Lybaert describes how the innate and adaptive immune system work together to produce an effective and durable antitumour response. She explains why the best strategy for personalised cancer therapy is therefore to identify major histocompatibility (MHC) binding epitopes to cover the full antigenic repertoire of…
In this Q&A, Dr Taha Merghoub discusses how a combination of glycolytic-pathway inhibition and immune checkpoint blockade using anti-CTLA-4 in patients with highly glycolytic tumours could present a personalised approach for immuno-oncology.
A new delivery vector using platelets has shown success in pre-clinical trials at delivering photothermal particles and immunostimulators to tumours.
In this issue, find articles discussing how high-throughput experimentation can enhance automated molecular discovery, why bNAbs present a promising COVID-19 treatment and how a novel rhinovirus vaccine was developed. Also included are features on immuno-oncology, cell line development and assays.
