Antibody blockade of the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway has elicited durable antitumor responses in the therapy of a broad spectrum of cancers. PD-L1 is constitutively expressed in certain tumors and host immune cells, and its expression can be induced or maintained

PD-L1 is not constitutively expressed on tasmanian devil facial tumor cells but is strongly upregulated in response to IFN-gamma and can be expressed in the tumor microenvironment [PDF]
The devil facial tumor disease (DFTD) is caused by clonal transmissible cancers that have led to a catastrophic decline in the wild Tasmanian devil (Sarcophilus harrisii) population.

GABA/baclofen stabilizes PD-L1 and enhances immunotherapy of breast cancer
The programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) on the surface of tumor cells binds to the receptor programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) on effector T cells, thereby inhibiting the anti-tumor immune response. Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy targeting PD-

Durvalumab: an investigational anti-PD-L1 monoclonal antibody for the treatment of urothelial carcinoma. [PDF]
Our expanding knowledge of immunotherapy for solid tumors has led to an explosion of clinical trials aimed at urothelial carcinoma. The primary strategy is centered on unleashing the immune system by releasing the inhibitory signals propagated by ...

The expression of integrin β4 (ITGβ4) on small extracellular vesicle (sEV) correlates with lung‐tropism. Enrichment of ITGβ4 on sEVs enhances their lung‐targeting ability. The sEVs loaded with doxorubicin exhibit superior therapeutic efficacy in a lung metastasis mouse model.

Rigid, bivalent CTLA-4 binding to CD80 is required to disrupt the cis CD80/PD-L1 interaction
Summary: The CTLA-4 and PD-1 checkpoints control immune responses and are key targets in immunotherapy. Both pathways are connected via a cis interaction between CD80 and PD-L1, the ligands for CTLA-4 and PD-1, respectively. This cis interaction prevents

IFNγ-induced PD-L1 expression is JAK2 but not JAK1 dependent and its inhibition enhances NK-cetuximab mediated ADCC of HNSCC cells [PDF]
Programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) is an immunosuppressive molecule expressed by many cancer types, including a large proportion of head and neck cancers (HNC), and ligation of its receptor, programmed death 1 (PD-1), induces exhaustion of effector T ...

Engineering Complexity: Advances in 3D Breast Cancer Models for Precision Oncology
In vitro breast cancer models that closely mimic the complex biological and cellular interactions within the tumor microenvironment hold strong promise for enhancing our understanding of tumor progression, immune system behavior, and resistance to therapies, which are essential for developing personalized cancer treatments. Abstract Engineered in vitro

Programmed death ligand 1 expression and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in glioblastoma [PDF]
Background Immune checkpoint inhibitors targeting programmed cell death 1 (PD1) or its ligand (PD-L1) showed activity in several cancer types. Methods We performed immunohistochemistry for CD3, CD8, CD20, HLA-DR, phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN), PD-
