’1104: tackling the root cause of allergic disease

Drug Target Review

functions to reset the immune system and potentially provide remission for allergic diseases? 1104 acts upstream in the inflammatory response, targeting one of the first key players: antigen-presenting cells (APCs). In allergic diseases, APCs identify and present unknown antigens to the immune system.

Decoding stem cells for personalised regenerative medicine

Drug Target Review

In research published in Scientific Reports , 1 investigators focused on mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), known for their potential in treating cell defects and regulating immune responses. We are studying the placement of organelles within cells and how they communicate to help better treat disease,” said Coskun.

4-1BB and the critical importance of local control

SugarCone Biotech

Targeting 4-1BB remained of interest to the immuno-oncology field as cell culture experiments and tumor models in mice suggested that robust anti-tumor immune responses could be triggered by anti-4-1BB antibody therapies. This is the T cell type most closely associated with anti-tumor immune responses.

COVID-19 nasal vaccine candidate effective at preventing disease transmission

The Pharma Data

Anderson Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, and his colleagues, are reporting in iScience the event of an intranasal subunit vaccine that gives durable local immunity against inhaled pathogens. A fundamental limitation of intramuscular vaccines is that they’re not designed to elicit mucosal immunity.
