Antigen-Targeting Inserted Nanomicelles Guide Pre-Existing Immunity to Kill Head and Neck Cancer. [PDF]
This study introduces a tumor‐targeted nanomicelle platform (preS1‐pHLIP) that exploits pre‐existing antiviral immunity to combat heterogeneous cancers. By delivering viral antigens to label tumors as virus‐like targets, the nanomicelles activate antiviral B and T cells, triggering in situ tumor lysis.

The Novel Fusion Protein Melittin-MIL-2 Exhibits Strong Antitumor Immune Effect in Lung Adenocarcinoma Cell A549. [PDF]
The novel fusion protein melittin‐MIL‐2 may activate immune cells via activating the LFA‐1/ICAM‐1 and Fas/FasL pathways to enhance cytolytic activity, upregulating the production of IFN‐γ and perforin, and boosting LAK‐like and NK‐like killing activities.

PBK/TOPK: A Therapeutic Target Worthy of Attention
Accumulating evidence supports the role of PDZ-binding kinase (PBK)/T-lymphokine-activated killer-cell-originated protein kinase (TOPK) in mitosis and cell-cycle progression of mitotically active cells, especially proliferative malignant cells.

Influence of Cytokines and Autologous Lymphokine-Activated Killer Cells on Leukemic Bone Marrow Cells and Colonies in AML [PDF]
We have already shown that cytokine cocktails (IL-1 beta, IL-3, IL-6, SCF, GM-CSF) and/or lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells can reduce the amounts of clonal, CD34-positive mononuclear bone marrow cells (BM-MNC) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

The LIN28B–let‐7–PBK pathway is essential for group 3 medulloblastoma tumor growth and survival
Children with Group 3 medulloblastoma (G3 MB) have a very poor prognosis, and many do not survive beyond 5 years after diagnosis. A factor that may contribute to this is the lack of available targeted therapy.

Present and future of allogeneic natural killer cell therapy
Natural killer (NK) cells are innate lymphocytes that are capable of eliminating tumor cells and are therefore used for cancer therapy. Although many early investigators used autologous NK cells, including lymphokine-activated killer cells, the clinical ...
