Using single-cell RNA sequencing to analyze gene expression in individual cells, the researchers have found how 86 major cytokines affect 17 immune cell types in mice. NH: This is the first single-cell resolution dictionary of each major immune cell type responding to each major cytokine in vivo at an unprecedented scale.

The molecule’s dual mechanism of action — targeting both tumor and immune cells — is unique compared to other cancer immunotherapies including PD-1 drugs, and the researchers think it could explain why the molecule was so effective on its own in animal models and may not even need to be used in combination with other drugs such as anti-PD-1 therapy.

25, 2021 — Giving melanoma patients a “personalized” vaccine can prompt an anti-tumor immune response that lasts for years, an early study finds. But it builds on earlier work showing it is possible to spur the immune system to respond to an individual’s unique tumor. MONDAY, Jan. SOURCES: Patrick A.

Researchers from Harvard Medical School describe a new ChatGPT-like model that can guide clinical decision-making to diagnose, treat, and predict survival for several types of cancer. This removes the cancer’s blocking of the immune response, so that T cells can fight the cancer. Their report appears in Nature.

In late 2020, the effort received $200,000 in seed funding from the Baker Department of Cardiometabolic Health at the University of Melbourne’s medical school. Daratumumab induced substantial clinical responses in the patients. The cells secrete auto-antibodies, but do not respond to standard immunosuppression.
