Insights into cellular therapies for cancer treatment

Drug Target Review

Stem cell transplants primarily help the immune response through the “graft-versus-leukaemia effect,” and we have to manage the “graft versus host effect.” This involves the use of CAR-T cell products derived from donor T cells, hence the term “off the shelf,” making it easier to standardise treatments.

Utilising engineered peptides for immunotherapy

Drug Target Review

Since cancer cells are under chronic stimulation of ER stress, the polypeptides cannot activate innate immune sensors in cancer cells even upon the polypeptide treatment. How did the combination of the polypeptides with immune checkpoint inhibitors affect the antitumour responses in the mouse models?

Harnessing the CD24/Siglec-10 pathway: immunotherapy innovation

Drug Target Review

While its involvement in the do-not-eat-me signal from cancer has inspired therapeutic development of this pathway for oncology, the function of the innate immune checkpoint we identified in 2009 1 extends to both innate and adaptive immune responses. CD24 and Siglec-10 Selectively Repress Tissue Damage-Induced Immune Responses.
