Taming overactive immune systems with antibodies: hope for autoimmune diseases

A multi-institutional team has discovered a novel immune regulatory mechanism mediated by antibodies that selectively shut down overactive immune responses. The 'immune-induced TCR-like antibody' (iTab) can reduce disease severity and delay its onset in a mouse model of autoimmune disease.

Study shows protein inhibitor as potential treatment approach for common mutations found in non-Hodgkin lymphomas

A study at University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center showed a potential new approach to treating follicular lymphoma and DLBCL through manipulation of molecular programs controlled by CREBBP. Inhibition of HDAC3 restores immune programs lost as a result of CREBBP mutations, paving the way for immunotherapy approaches.
