Researchers find CD39 inhibition could be an effective strategy for immunotherapy
Scientists have discovered adenosine could inhibit CD39, a molecule that suppresses the immune system.
news
New method by which T cells can react to lower doses of antigens
Researchers have discovered a way to ignite T cells, potentially increasing the scope and success of T cell-based immunotherapy.
news
Combining immunotherapy and virotherapy shows promise for treatment-resistant cancers
The study describes how oncolytic virotherapy can work with existing immunotherapy techniques, boosting the immune capacity to effectively target and destroy cancer cells.

Takeda enters agreement with F-star Therapeutics to license bispecific antibody
F-star Therapeutics has announced a licence agreement with Takeda for a novel next-generation immuno-oncology bispecific antibody.
news
Whole exome sequencing predicts whether cancer patients will respond to immunotherapy
Researchers have developed a two-step approach using whole exome sequencing to focus on genes and pathways that predict whether cancer patients will respond to immunotherapy.
news
Listeria-based booster improves vaccine’s protection against recurring cancer
New research has shown that using viral and bacterial vaccine approaches together is safe and far more effective at fighting the cancer than either approach by itself.
