Improved chemokine homing enhances CAR T–cell therapy for osteosarcoma
Learn how scientists at St. Jude are leading research to improve CAR T-cell therapy for osteosarcoma by enhancing chemokine homing.
We Now Know Why Killer T Cells Lose Energy Inside of Solid Tumors
Researchers at the UNC School of Medicine have found that a metabolic enzyme called Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase causes T cells to store fat when they are in solid tumors, rather than burning fat for energy.
Engineered bacteria paint targets on tumors for cancer-killing T cells to see
Synthetic biologists at Columbia Engineering report today a new approach to attacking tumors. They have engineered tumor-colonizing bacteria (probiotics) to produce synthetic targets in tumors that direct CAR-T cells to destroy the newly highlighted cancer cells.
Cedars-Sinai Cancer Experts To Present Clinical Findings at AACR Conference
Cedars-Sinai Cancer oncologists and researchers are available to comment on late-breaking topics and research throughout the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2023, happening April 14-19 in Orlando.
Ultrasound remotely triggers immune cells to attack tumors in mice without toxic side effects
A new cancer immunotherapy pairs ultrasound with specially engineered CAR T cells to destroy malignant tumors while sparing normal tissue. The new experimental therapy significantly slowed down the growth of solid cancerous tumors in mice.
