Engineering and Design of Chimeric Antigen Receptors

open access: yesMolecular Therapy: Methods & Clinical Development, 2019
T cells engineered with chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) have emerged as a potent new class of therapeutics for cancer, based on their remarkable potency in blood cancers.

Molecular constraints on CDR3 for thymic selection of MHC-restricted TCRs from a random pre-selection repertoire

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
For T cells, functional antigen receptors are selected in the thymus from a pre-selection repertoire by interaction with self MHCs. Here the authors show that specific, non-germline coded features located in the complementarity determining region 3 of ...

Function and Dynamics of Tetraspanins during Antigen Recognition and Immunological Synapse Formation

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2016
Tetraspanin-enriched microdomains (TEMs) are specialized membrane platforms driven by protein-protein interactions that integrate membrane receptors and adhesion molecules.

T-Cell Gene Therapy in Cancer Immunotherapy: Why It Is No Longer Just CARs on The Road

open access: yesCells, 2020
T-cells have a natural ability to fight cancer cells in the tumour microenvironment. Due to thymic selection and tissue-driven immunomodulation, these cancer-fighting T-cells are generally low in number and exhausted.

Innate and adaptive signals enhance differentiation and expansion of dual-antibody autoreactive B cells in lupus

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
Conventional B cells express clonally specific antigen receptors, but a small subset of B cells from patients and mice with systematic lupus erythematosus simultaneously expresses two distinct antigen receptors.

Functional Specialty of CD40 and Dendritic Cell Surface Lectins for Exogenous Antigen Presentation to CD8+ and CD4+ T Cells

open access: yesEBioMedicine, 2016
Dendritic cells (DCs) are major antigen-presenting cells that can efficiently prime and cross-prime antigen-specific T cells. Delivering antigen to DCs via surface receptors is thus an appealing strategy to evoke cellular immunity.

Natural Killer Cells in Paediatric Soft Tissue Sarcomas: A Systematic Review

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Paediatric soft tissue sarcomas (pSTS) are a rare and heterogeneous group of malignant tumours arising in tissues of mesenchymal origin. The role of natural killer (NK) cells in pSTS remains poorly understood, with evidence fragmented across small preclinical studies and early‐phase clinical trials.

Genetic engineering of chimeric antigen receptors using lamprey derived variable lymphocyte receptors

open access: yesMolecular Therapy: Oncolytics, 2016
Chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) are used to redirect effector cell specificity to selected cell surface antigens. Using CARs, antitumor activity can be initiated in patients with no prior tumor specific immunity.

The Role of Chemotherapy in Pediatric Myoepithelial Carcinoma: A Systematic Review of the Literature

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Myoepithelial carcinoma (MEC) in pediatric patients is a rare and aggressive malignancy characterized by heterogeneous morphology and variable molecular features. The optimal role of chemotherapy remains unclear. We conducted a systematic review according to PRISMA 2020 guidelines to evaluate chemotherapy in pediatric and young‐adult patients ...

Organoids in pediatric cancer research

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Organoid technology has revolutionized cancer research, yet its application in pediatric oncology remains limited. Recent advances have enabled the development of pediatric tumor organoids, offering new insights into disease biology, treatment response, and interactions with the tumor microenvironment.
