Function‐driven design of a surrogate interleukin‐2 receptor ligand
Interleukin (IL)‐2 signaling can be achieved and precisely fine‐tuned through the affinity, distance, and orientation of the heterodimeric receptors with their ligands. We designed a biased IL‐2 surrogate ligand that selectively promotes effector T and natural killer cell activation and differentiation. Interleukin (IL) receptors play a pivotal role in

The antitumor mechanism of immuno-flap treatment in a rat model of head and neck cancer
Background Local recurrence after surgical resection is a major clinical challenge in patients with advanced head and neck cancer (HNC). We previously reported using transfer of a flap treated with dendritic cells (DCs) (“immuno-flap”) as a novel cancer ...

Exosomes as smart drug delivery vehicles for cancer immunotherapy
Exosomes (Exos) as drug delivery vehicles have been widely used for cancer immunotherapy owing to their good biocompatibility, low toxicity, and low immunogenicity. Some Exos-based cancer immunotherapy strategies such as tuning of immunosuppressive tumor

Autophagy-deficient breast cancer shows early tumor recurrence and escape from dormancy [PDF]
Breast cancer patients who initially respond to cancer therapies often succumb to distant recurrence of the disease. It is not clear why people with the same type of breast cancer respond to treatments differently; some escape from dormancy and relapse ...

Multiple ETS family transcription factors bind mutant p53 via distinct interaction regions
Mutant p53 gain‐of‐function is thought to be mediated by interaction with other transcription factors. We identify multiple ETS transcription factors that can bind mutant p53 and found that this interaction can be promoted by a PXXPP motif. ETS proteins that strongly bound mutant p53 were upregulated in ovarian cancer compared to ETS proteins that ...

Peripheral Blood CD8+ T-Lymphocyte Subsets Are Associated with Prognosis in Prostate Cancer Patients
Background: Various studies have reported associations between frequencies of total peripheral blood lymphocytes and prostate cancer prognosis, but none so far has addressed the prognostic role of CD8+ T-lymphocyte subsets.

New perspectives in cancer immunotherapy: targeting IL-6 cytokine family
Chronic inflammation has been recognized as a canonical cancer hallmark. It is orchestrated by cytokines, which are master regulators of the tumor microenvironment (TME) as they represent the main communication bridge between cancer cells, the tumor ...

Bridging the gap: Multi‐stakeholder perspectives of molecular diagnostics in oncology
Although molecular diagnostics is transforming cancer care, implementing novel technologies remains challenging. This study identifies unmet needs and technology requirements through a two‐step stakeholder involvement. Liquid biopsies for monitoring applications and predictive biomarker testing emerge as key unmet needs. Technology requirements vary by
