CAR-T Cell Therapy for Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma.

Classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) is a malignancy characterized by the presence of Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg (HRS) cells within a complex tumor microenvironment (TME). Despite advances in conventional therapies, a subset of cHL patients experience relapse or refractory disease, necessitating the exploration of novel treatment strategies. Chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T cell) therapy has emerged as a promising approach for the management of cHL, harnessing the power of genetically modified T cells to recognize and eliminate tumor cells.

Design and Immunogenicity of SARS-CoV-2 DNA Vaccine Encoding RBD-PVXCP Fusion Protein.

The potential of immune-evasive mutation accumulation in the SARS-CoV-2 virus has led to its rapid spread, causing over 600 million confirmed cases and more than 6.5 million confirmed deaths. The huge demand for the rapid development and deployment of low-cost and effective vaccines against emerging variants has renewed interest in DNA vaccine technology.

Combating Drug Resistance by Exploiting miRNA-200c-Controlled Phase II Detoxification.

Acquired drug resistance constitutes a serious obstacle to the successful therapy of cancer. In the process of therapy resistance, microRNAs can play important roles. In order to combat resistance formation and to improve the efficacy of chemotherapeutics, the mechanisms of the multifaceted hsa-miR-200c on drug resistance were elucidated.

Isolation of an escape-resistant SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing nanobody from a novel synthetic nanobody library.

The COVID-19 pandemic not only resulted in a global crisis, but also accelerated vaccine development and antibody discovery. Herein we report a synthetic humanized VHH library development pipeline for nanomolar-range affinity VHH binders to SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VoC) receptor binding domains (RBD) isolation. Trinucleotide-based randomization of CDRs by Kunkel mutagenesis with the subsequent rolling-cycle amplification resulted in more than 10 diverse phage display library in a manageable for a single person number of electroporation reactions.
