Study of dose-dependent combination immunotherapy using engineered T cells and IL-2 in cervical cancer [PDF]
Adoptive T cell based immunotherapy is gaining significant traction in cancer treatment. Despite its limited success, so far, in treating solid cancers, it is increasingly successful, demonstrating to have a broader therapeutic potential. In this paper we develop a mathematical model to study the efficacy of engineered T cell receptor (TCR) T cell ...

Adoptive Natural Killer Cell Immunotherapy for Canine Osteosarcoma
Osteosarcoma is the most common primary bone tumor in both humans and dogs. It is a highly metastatic cancer and therapy has not improved significantly since the inclusion of adjuvant chemotherapy into disease treatment strategies.

Reversal of gastrointestinal carcinoma-induced immunosuppression and induction of antitumoural immunity by a combination of cyclophosphamide and gene transfer of IL-12 [PDF]
Immunotherapy-based strategies for gastrointestinal carcinomas (GIC) have been exploited so far, but these approaches have to face strong mechanisms of immune escape induced by tumours.

CAR-NK cells may represent a valuable tool, complementary to CAR-T cells, in adoptive immunotherapy of leukemia and solid tumors. However, gene transfer to human NK cells is a challenging task, particularly with non-virus-based techniques.

Combined therapy with cytokine-induced killer cells and oncolytic adenovirus expressing IL-12 induce enhanced antitumor activity in liver tumor model. [PDF]
Both adoptive immunotherapy and gene therapy hold a great promise for treatment of malignancies. However, these strategies exhibit limited anti-tumor activity, when they are used alone.

Safety, tumor trafficking and immunogenicity of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells specific for TAG-72 in colorectal cancer. [PDF]
BackgroundT cells engineered to express chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) have established efficacy in the treatment of B-cell malignancies, but their relevance in solid tumors remains undefined.

The combined-immunotherapy of adoptive cell therapy (ACT) and cyclophosphamide (CTX) is one of the most efficient treatments for melanoma patients. However, no synergistic effects of CTX and ACT on the spatio-temporal dynamics of immunocytes in vivo have

Biomaterial-based ligand presentation to induce notch signaling in vitro [PDF]
T cell adoptive transfer is an important procedure in immunotherapy. In immunocompromised patients, T cells may need to be developed from stem cells, requiring the induction of Notch signaling events responsible for native T cell differentiation in the ...

Application of Immunotherapy in Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Hepatocellular carcinoma is one of the most common malignancies globally. It not only has a hidden onset but also progresses rapidly. Most HCC patients are already in the advanced stage of cancer when they are diagnosed, and have even lost the ...
