By Allessandra DiCorato October 11, 2023 In 2011, Robert Manguso was working in a cell biology lab when his mother was diagnosed with Merkel cell carcinoma, a rare and aggressive skin cancer. They are used to treat cancers including melanoma and non-small cell lung cancer, but work only for a small fraction of patients.

This is particularly pertinent in immune-based cell therapies like CAR-T, where animals do not mimic the human immune response. Nikki drives adoption of 3D cellular models of human disease by applying her expertise in cell biology to drug discovery and high-throughput screening.

NK cells are among the front line of protection from infected and abnormal cells as part of the ‘innate immune response’. They recognise ‘cell stress molecules’ on the surface of infected, old, injured and cancerous cells without the need for complex pre-stimulation signals of the adaptive immune system (eg, T cells).

While commonly used, AAVs have limitations, including immune reactions and difficulties with re-dosing due to pre-existing antibodies. As with all CGTs, safety concerns, particularly related to immune responses and long-term effects, are crucial in cardiology. Allogeneic cell therapies must avoid immune rejection.

“Antibody responses are not likely to be the sole determinant of someone’s outcome,” said Scott Boyd, associate professor of pathology at Stanford. Some of these patients mount a vigorous immune response, and others have a more moderate response. There are also other branches of the immune system involved.

In one experiment, the microneedle patches were used to deliver a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine into mice, producing immune responses similar to a traditional injection. Printed vaccines caused mice to have a faster immune response. Nature Cell Biology. But the printed vaccines are very good!
