Comprehensive Peripheral Blood Immunoprofiling Reveals Five Immunotypes with Immunotherapy Response Characteristics in Patients with Cancer

Research Report on the Analysis of Immunological Characteristics of Peripheral Blood in Cancer Patients Cancer is a major and pervasive health problem globally. Despite significant advances in cancer treatment in recent years, many challenges remain, including how to accurately predict patients’ responses to various treatments. Immunotherapy, parti...

Dendritic-Cell-Targeting Virus-Like Particles as Potent mRNA Vaccine Carriers

Dendritic-cell-targeting Virus-like Particles as Potent mRNA Vaccine Carriers Introduction In vaccine development, especially mRNA vaccines, significant achievements have been made in recent years. The mRNA vaccines developed by Moderna and Pfizer/BioNTech against COVID-19 have set a successful precedent, greatly advancing the development of mRNA v...

Mesenchymal Stromal Cells with Chimeric Antigen Receptors for Enhanced Immunosuppression

Mesenchymal Stromal Cells with Chimeric Antigen Receptors for Enhanced Immunosuppression Background Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs) are pluripotent cells found in almost all tissues and possess significant immunosuppressive and regenerative properties. These features make MSCs widely studied for the treatment of immune diseases and tissue regenera...

Oncolytic Mineralized Bacteria as Potent Locally Administered Immunotherapeutics

Oncolytic Mineralized Bacteria May Be Used for Tumor Immunotherapy via Local Injection Research Background As a novel cancer treatment method, bacteria-based cancer immunotherapy has a long history dating back to the late 19th century when heated, inactivated bacteria were used to treat sarcomas. Initial trials found that these bacteria could trigg...

Physical Immune Escape: Weakened Mechanical Communication Leads to Escape of Metastatic Colorectal Carcinoma Cells from Macrophages

Physical Immune Escape: Weakened Mechanical Communication Leads to Escape of Metastatic Colorectal Carcinoma Cells from Macrophages

Physical Immunoevasion: Attenuated Mechanical Communication Facilitates Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Cells to Evade Macrophage Attack Background Introduction Cancer metastasis is a complex and daunting challenge, with metastatic cancer cells capable of evading immune cell attacks, breaching the extracellular matrix (ECM), and migrating to other sit...

An Autoantibody Signature Predictive for Multiple Sclerosis

An Autoantibody Signature Predictive for Multiple Sclerosis

Predictive Autoantibody Signature for Multiple Sclerosis Academic Background and Research Significance Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease that primarily affects the white matter of the central nervous system (CNS). Previous studies have mostly suggested that T cells play a major role in the pathogenesis of MS. Howe...

Intrathecal Bivalent CAR T Cells Targeting EGFR and IL13Rα2 in Recurrent Glioblastoma: Phase 1 Trial Interim Results

Intrathecal Bivalent CAR T Cells Targeting EGFR and IL13Rα2 in Recurrent Glioblastoma: Phase 1 Trial Interim Results

The Effectiveness of Bivalent CAR T-Cell Therapy Targeting EGFR and IL13Rα2 in Treating Recurrent Glioblastoma In recent years, the treatment of recurrent glioblastoma (RGBM) has been continually explored and improved, yet overall survival rates remain less than one year, presenting a significant challenge. The limitations of existing treatments an...

Spatial Enrichment and Genomic Analyses Reveal the Link of NOMO1 with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Spatial Enrichment and Genomic Analyses Reveal the Link of NOMO1 with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Spatial Enrichment and Genomic Analysis Reveal Association between NOMO1 and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Introduction Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a severe neurodegenerative disease in which motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord gradually degrade. Although the genetic susceptibility of sporadic ALS patients remains uncertain, TDP-4...

NMDA Receptor Autoantibodies Primarily Impair the Extrasynaptic Compartment

NMDA Receptor Autoantibodies Mainly Damage Extrasynaptic Components Background Information In recent years, neuroimmunology research has revealed various neurological and psychiatric diseases associated with autoantibodies. In these disorders, autoantibodies target various molecules, including receptor membrane proteins, causing abnormal neural sys...

Distinct Virtual Histology of Grey Matter Atrophy in Four Neuroinflammatory Diseases

Research Background The core focus of this study is the manifestation of gray matter atrophy in neuroinflammatory diseases. Gray matter atrophy typically appears in four types of neuroinflammatory demyelinating diseases: Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorders (NMOSD) positive (AQP4+) and negative (AQP4-) for aquaporin-4 an...
