IntroductionThe importance of the cGAS-STING pathway and type I interferon (IFN) in anti-tumor immunity has been widely studied. However, there is limited knowledge about the role of type III IFNs in cancer settings. Type III IFNs, comprising IFNλ1-4, …
IntroductionInfections are a major cause of early morbidity and mortality in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) who are characterized by immunodeficiency secondary to disease. However, prospectively collected data on infection risk in this population …
Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) encompass over 50 histologic subtypes, representing more than 1% of solid tumors. Standard treatments include surgical resection and therapies such as anthracyclines or trabectedin for advanced cases, though challenges persis…
IntroductionIn addition to its direct cytotoxic effects, ablative therapies as electrochemotherapy (ECT) can elicit indirect antitumor effects by triggering immune system responses. Here, we comprehensively analyzed this dual effectiveness of intratumo…
IntroductionMacrophages play a crucial immunological role in maintaining pregnancy. Placental malaria infection may cause dysfunction in decidual macrophages which then culminates in the associated pregnancy complications. Here, we determined the influ…
IntroductionThe immune-mediated rejection of transplanted organs is a complex interplay between T cells and B cells, where the recognition of HLA-derived epitopes plays a crucial role. Several algorithms of molecular compatibility have been suggested, …
ObjectiveGiven the limitations of immunotherapy for treating non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), we investigated the phenotype and function of exhausted CD8+T cells and analyzed a novel combination immunotherapy to restore the effector killing function…
IntroductionFerroptosis, an iron-dependent form of regulated cell death, is characterized by the lethal accumulation of lipid peroxides on cellular membranes. It not only inhibits tumor growth but also enhances immunotherapy responses and overcomes dru…
IntroductionTAVO412, a multi-specific antibody targeting epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), mesenchymal epithelial transition factor (c-Met), and vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A), is undergoing clinical development for the treatment …
Serum Amyloid A (SAA) proteins are acute-phase reactants with critical roles in sterile and bacterial inflammation. Through in vitro and in vivo experiments, we demonstrate that SAA proteins amplify cytokine and chemokine responses during sterile infla…
