We have noted that cancer patients can develop powerful anti-tumour immune responses that can result in complete cure of the disease and we call these patients ‘elite responders’. By understanding what triggers the adaptive immune response in “elite responders” we have identified new targets and therapeutic antibodies.

Discovery of protein’s role could improve cancer immunotherapies

Drug Discovery World

Researchers at the University of Turku in Finland have discovered that the protein TIMP-1 plays a critical role in the immune system’s defence against cancer. TIMP-1 is produced by dendritic cells, which are responsible for initiating immune responses and boosting the immune system’s ability to recognise and destroy cancer cells.

New study uses genetics to identify best sepsis treatment

Drug Discovery World

New research has uncovered how different people respond to sepsis based on their genetics, which could lead to the development of targeted therapies. The ultimate aim is for patients to receive the most effective treatment for their sepsis more quickly, based on their immune response rather than their symptoms.
