🔬 Radiolabeled nanobodies are emerging as powerful tools for cancer immunotherapy, enabling non-invasive imaging of tumours, immune checkpoints, and immune cells to support patient selection and treatment monitoring. 📖 vist.ly/5c72w
🧬 CAR-T cells and TCR-T cells don't regulate cytokine production in the same way. Patel and colleagues show that while co-stimulatory receptors are needed to sustain late cytokine production in TCR-T cells, this regulation is largely lost in 2nd-generation CAR-T cells. 📖 vist.ly/5c3w8
🎗️ Cancer stem cells may be a key missing piece in understanding immunotherapy resistance. This comprehensive review examines how CSCs interact with the tumour microenvironment and discusses emerging strategies to target stemness-driven therapeutic failure. 📖 vist.ly/5btf3
🚀 New in Immunotherapy Advances! Margherita Boieri et al. from Zelluna ASA report promising preclinical data on MAGE‑A4–specific TCR‑NK cells, showing potent, safe activity against solid tumors. Read the open access article: vist.ly/5bip5 #Immunotherapy #CellTherapy
Can blood‑based T‑cell markers predict PD‑1 therapy response in melanoma? This study suggests yes, highlighting CD8⁺ proliferation in responders and CTLA‑4⁺ Tregs in non‑responders. Read here📄vist.ly/5ba67
NLRC5 is more than an MHC-I regulator. Shukla et al. show that tumour-intrinsic NLRC5 promotes CD8⁺ T-cell and NK-cell infiltration, rewires antigen-processing pathways, and drives tumour control, highlighting its potential as a target to enhance antitumour immunity. 🧬 vist.ly/5b6jx
Tumour‑reactive plasma cells are emerging as powerful players in cancer immunotherapy. This review highlights their role, the promise of neoantigen‑reactive PCs, and the challenges in epitope prediction and screening. 📄 vist.ly/5asfu
A phase 3 study by Kanegane et al. reports that 20% subcutaneous immunoglobulin (Ig20Gly) given weekly or every 2 weeks maintained stable IgG levels with a favourable safety profile in Japanese patients with PIDs. Read the open access article: vist.ly/5adn2
Metabolic dysregulation plays a key role in Behçet’s disease. Elevated glucose & TAG levels drive Th1 differentiation, CD8⁺ T cell activation and B cell antibody production, contributing to immune dysfunction. Read the study: vist.ly/59xtz
CD137 aptamer–shRNA chimeras show promise for targeting intratumoral Tregs. This approach downregulates key genes like EzH2 & Nrp1 in CD137⁺ Tregs and malignant cells, offering a potential new route for tumour immunotherapy. 🔗 vist.ly/59urf
A new study protocol describes a controlled human lung immune challenge using inhaled Resiquimod (R848) to investigate antiviral immune responses and airway inflammation, helping to advance respiratory research and novel therapy development. 🔗 vist.ly/59qts
📍 We're at #OCION2026 today in Oxford! Stop by the Immunotherapy Advances booth to meet our Journals Manager, Laura Franklin, and chat about publishing your latest immunology and immuno-oncology research. We're actively welcoming submissions! 🧬✨
🔬 Monocytes play a key role in MS, balancing inflammation and tissue repair. Shifting from pro-inflammatory to repair-associated subsets could offer new therapeutic approaches. 📖 vist.ly/587dc #Immunology #MultipleSclerosis
🔬 Regulatory B cells are key to immune balance, but their role in autoimmune disease is highly variable. This highlights the need for more personalised approaches to treatment. 📖 vist.ly/56c84
Population modelling reveals key drivers of CAR T-cell dynamics in lymphoma patients, highlighting roles for lymphodepletion, tumour burden, and cytokines like IL-15/IL-7 🧬 🔗 vist.ly/555yn #Immunotherapy #CARTcells #CancerResearch
A high-affinity ImmTAC® bispecific efficiently redirects T cells to target PRAME+ tumour cells, even at very low antigen levels, highlighting its promise across multiple cancers 🧬 🔗 vist.ly/5422m #Immunotherapy #CancerResearch #Tcells #OpenAccess
A simple whole-blood assay enables rapid, in vivo monitoring of engineered TCR T cell function, capturing cytokine responses post-transfer without complex processing. A practical step for tracking cell therapy performance. 🧬 vist.ly/54bta #Immunotherapy #Tcells #CellTherapy
