Background
Dual inhibition of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) and programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) may alleviate suppression of antitumor immune responses by overcoming redundant immunosuppressive pathways. This study evaluated the combination o…
Older adults with frailty demonstrate systemic immunosenescence, including T-cell exhaustion and reduced immune diversity, yet maintain immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) efficacy comparable to that of younger patients. Baseline immune cell composition …
Background
Ovarian and gastric cancers are associated with poor prognosis and derive limited benefit from current therapies, highlighting the need for novel immunotherapeutic approaches. The L1 cell adhesion molecule (L1CAM) is aberrantly expressed in…
Background
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized cancer therapy, but can cause serious immune-related adverse events, with pneumonitis (ICI-P) being among the most severe. Early identification of high-risk patients before ICI initiat…
In relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma, the approved B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-targeted chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell product ciltacabtagene autoleucel (cilta-cel) shows higher response rates than idecabtagene vicleucel (ide-cel) in p…
Background
Altered O-glycosylation is a hallmark of many adenocarcinomas and is often characterized by expression of the Tn antigen. However, the role of B cells in protection against Tn-expressing solid tumors remains poorly understood.
Methods
We g…
Background
Gliomas are resistant to current therapies, and natural killer (NK) cell-based immunotherapy shows limited efficacy. Gasdermin E (GSDME)-mediated pyroptosis contributes to NK-induced tumor killing, but NK cell dysfunction in the glioma micr…
Background
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains one of the most lethal malignancies. Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) have emerged as key components of the tumor immune microenvironment, associated with improved survival and enhanced immu…
Background
Checkpoint blockade (CPB) has limited efficacy in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC), warranting improved therapeutic strategies capable of remodeling the tumor microenvironment. Stem-like TCF1+CD8+ T cells, cytotoxic CD8+ T cells, and l…
Background
On-target, off-tumor toxicity is a recurring challenge for solid tumor therapeutics targeted to antigens preferentially expressed on malignant cells. Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a tumor-associated antigen that is expressed …
