Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common malignant bone tumor, primarily affecting adolescents. In the 1970s, the clinical use of chemotherapy in conjunction with surgical resection significantly improved the five-year survival rate ofRead More…
Controlling Widespread Neutralizing Antibodies Produced in Post-Treatment Controllers Promotes Long-Term Remission of HIV-1 Infection
Some HIV-1 carriers who received early antiretroviral therapy (ART) for several years can maintain long-term control over the virus after treatment interruption. However, the mechanism behind this post-treatment control is not fullyRead More…
Scientists Identify Special Genes Capable of Producing a Large Number of Key Antibodies
Cellular secretions play various crucial roles within the body. However, methods to connect this functional information with surface markers and the transcriptome have been lacking. In a recent research paper published inRead More…
Targeting Integrins for the Treatment of Drug-Resistant Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remains highly resistant to treatment with a high relapse rate, necessitating the development of new therapeutic strategies. Integrin-targeted therapy, which has been extensively studied in solid tumors andRead More…
The Roles of Loss of CXCR2 Expression/Activity in Melanoma Tumorigenesis
Chemokines and their receptors have been shown to play crucial roles in regulating tumor growth, progression, metastasis, and response to immunotherapy. Initially known for their role as chemoattractants in guiding leukocyte migration,Read More…
Targeting PD-L2-RGMb Promises to Enhance the Efficacy of Cancer Immunotherapy
Immunotherapy has revolutionized the treatment of many cancer types. However, for reasons that remain poorly understood, not all patients respond equally from these potent therapies. In a recent study, researchers from HarvardRead More…
Scientists Reviewed the Advances, Challenges and Countermeasures in Immunotherapy of Gastrointestinal Tumors
The morbidity and mortality of intestinal tumors are among the top malignant tumors, and they are major diseases that seriously threaten people’s health. The prognosis for some patients with gastrointestinal malignancies hasRead More…
Released! Mechanisms Behind Immune Cells’ Responses to Cancer Cell Mutations
Neoantigens are peptides derived from nonsynonymous mutations in human leukocyte antigens (HLAs) that are recognized by antitumor T cells. The large diversity of HLA alleles and limited clinical samples often narrow scientists’Read More…
The Ineffectiveness of Cancer Immunotherapy May Be Due to the Lack of Specific Key Immune Cells in Patients
Nowadays, immunotherapy has dramatically changed the care of cancer patients. In the case of patients with advanced melanoma, one of the most lethal cancers of human skin, the 5-year survival rate hasRead More…
Scientists Discovered the Key Molecule Triggering Cancer Metastasis
Many cancer cells never leave their original tumor tissue. Some cancer cells have evolved the ability to migrate to other tissues, but they will become dormant once they are unable to formRead More…
