Researchers discovered 500 cryptic peptides found only in pancreatic tumors, which could be targeted by vaccines or engineered T cells to attack the cancer. The peptides were identified using immunopeptidomics and shown to slow down tumor growth in mice.
Scientists at Goethe University Frankfurt have discovered a new way to tailor natural killer cells to target leukemia cells, improving their efficacy. The researchers used CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing to disable an immune checkpoint, allowing the modified cells to attack cancer cells more effectively.
A recent study by Harvard researchers provides an engineering approach to understanding the failure of macrophages in cancer therapies. The team found that different phenotypes exhibit different penetration into tumors, with M0 macrophages showing improved transport efficiency.
