Researchers have shown that natural killer (NK) cells work best as an immunotherapy when in an early stage of development, so could be manufactured from pluripotent stem cells.
This issue includes a spotlight on how genomic assays could revolutionise healthcare, a discussion on how lab automation can improve drug discovery and an analysis of whether antibodies can provide an effective coronavirus treatment. Other article topics in this issue include immuno-oncology and artificial intelligence.
Identifying next generation targets for cancer immunotherapy.
Researchers have found that there is less calmodulin binding to ion channels in the T cells from cancer patients, presenting a new immunotherapeutic target.
Combining the chlorotoxin peptide with conventional CAR structures, researchers have created a new CAR T cell therapy that has successfully combatted glioblastomas in mice.
Researchers have discovered that a small molecule can help some T cells combat tumours during PD-1 blockade immunotherapy in mice.
A study has shown that in mice, the GKT137831 drug makes tumours more sensitive to immunotherapy, so could be used to improve cancer treatments.
Drug Target Review spoke with CUE Biopharma’s President and CSO to find out how and why they created the ImmunoSTAT platform and the ways it may benefit drug design in the future.
Scientists identify innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) as possible targets for immunotherapies as their activation makes murine pancreatic tumours sensitive to PD-1 checkpoint inhibitors.
Researchers have created a method to activate CAR T cells with blue LED light to successfully combat solid tumours in mice.
Researchers have discovered that an antibody which targets the CD36 protein prevents Tregs from protecting tumours against immunotherapies in mouse models.
An innovative chimeric vaccine containing an Ebola gene that helps the virus evade the immune system has been used to selectively target and kill glioblastoma in mice.
An innovative new vaccine technique, which sensitises the immune system to the genetic signature of APOBEC mutations (often found in cancers), increases the efficacy of immunotherapies.
Researchers have created a CAR T-cell therapy which targets the CD229 molecule expressed on all multiple myeloma cells and killed human tumour cells in mice.
