Background
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has shown limited efficacy in solid tumors, largely due to immunosuppressive mechanisms within the tumor microenvironment (TME). While tumor-associated glycans are known to protect malignant ce…
Background
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains a major global health burden with limited effective therapeutic strategies. Although chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has shown encouraging potential, its efficacy in HCC is profoundly co…
Background
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) macrophage therapy shows significant potential for solid tumors owing to the intrinsic tumor infiltration and phagocytic capacity of macrophages. However, its clinical translation is limited by macrophage phe…
Background
Genes that enhance T-cell function represent promising targets for improving engineered T-cell therapies for cancer. While extensive CRISPR knockout screens have identified key genes enhancing T-cell persistence, employing Sleeping Beauty (…
Background
Cancer immunotherapies have significantly improved treatment efficacy and patient survival by exploiting antigen-specific T cells to eliminate cancer cells. However, current approaches for identifying and isolating antigen-specific T cells …
Background
The prognosis of patients with metastatic/relapsed/refractory Ewing sarcoma (ES) is dismal. Natural killer (NK) cells are highly cytotoxic to ES but limited by resistance within the ES tumor microenvironment (TME). Here we sought to overcom…
Background
Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare and aggressive malignancy with poor prognosis and limited curative treatment options. While chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells have shown some promise in solid tumors, ACC remains largely unexpl…
Background
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has achieved clinical success in hematologic malignancies, but remains limited in solid tumors due to immune checkpoint-mediated suppression and intrinsic signaling constraints. Unlike T-cell r…
Background
Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) is a life-threatening toxicity of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (CART) for B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). Lower rates of severe CRS have been reported in patients treated with CD22-di…
Background
Chronic inflammation is a well-established driver of colorectal cancer (CRC), with the resulting inflammatory microenvironment facilitating tumor initiation and progression. The integrin CD11b/CD18, a leukocyte-specific heterodimeric adhesi…
