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…
Background
While chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells have achieved encouraging remission rates in hematological malignancies, they have demonstrated limited success in treating glioblastoma (GBM), particularly due to high intratumoral and intertum…
Background
Systemic pre-conditioning prior to chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell infusion enhances engraftment and increases infiltration and activity of adoptively transferred cells within the tumor. Despite promising responses in some patients, …
Immunotherapy has transformed cancer treatment, yet its efficacy in solid tumors, and particularly in colorectal cancer (CRC), remains limited by insufficient infiltration of endogenous or adoptively transferred immune cells. Our group developed Delta…
Background
CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies have transformed the treatment landscape for pediatric B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), yet relapses driven by antigen escape remain a major limitation. Dual-targeti…
Background
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy is a promising immunotherapy for patients with refractory or relapsed lymphoma or leukemia. However, inefficient activity and insufficient persistence of CAR T cells impede the durability of it…
Background
B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-directed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has demonstrated substantial clinical benefit in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (R/R MM). Nonetheless, immune escape and therapeutic resistance r…
Background
The scarcity of primary conventional dendritic cells (cDCs) and the limited functionality of monocyte-derived dendritic cells (moDCs) have long hindered mechanistic and translational studies in human dendritic cell (DC) biology and immunoth…
Background
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) therapies have revolutionized cancer immunotherapy, particularly in hematologic malignancies, but their efficacy in solid tumors remains limited. Key barriers include tumor antigen heterogeneity, on-target/of…
