The use of two independent test-systems (intravenous adoptive transfer of immune response on tumour cells by intact syngenic recipient and mixed cultivation of immunocompetent and tumour cells in diffusion chambers) made it possible to establish that exogenous IL-2 possesses an expressive capacity both to the positive and to the negative modulation of immunological mechanisms during the tumour growth.

Background: Cancer stem cells in human tumors have been defined by stem cell markers, embryonal signaling pathways and characteristic biology, ie., namely the ability to repopulate the proliferating population. However, even if these properties can be demonstrated within a tumor cell subpopulation, it does not mean that they are truly hierarchical stem cells because they could have been derived from the proliferating population in a reversible manner.

Antidrug antibodies (ADAs) against biologics present a major challenge for sustained biotherapy, including enzyme replacement therapies and adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene therapies. These antibodies arise from undesirable immune responses, leading to altered pharmacokinetics, reduced efficacy, and adverse reactions. In this study, we introduced a rationally designed lipid-rapamycin (Rapa)-based nanovaccine to restore immune tolerance to biologics and overcome drug resistance.

Intracellular morphological apical-basal polarity, regulated by conserved polarity proteins, plays a crucial role in cell migration and metastasis. In this study, using a genetically encoded Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) biosensor to visually present the spatiotemporal stress state between the lipid rafts on the membrane and the linked actin, we first provide the evidence for the existence of intrinsic apical-basal stress polarity in tumor cells and demonstrate that this polarity is a prerequisite for the formation of flow-induced front-back stress polarity. Interestingly, our study revealed that the front-back stress polarity disappeared upon the disruption of intrinsic apical-basal stress discrepancy, resulting in a large attenuated cell migration activity reduced from 76.

The applications of artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning (DL) are leading to significant advances in cancer research, particularly in analysing histopathology images for prognostic and treatment-predictive insights. However, effective translation of these computational methods requires computational researchers to have at least a basic understanding of histopathology. In this work, we aim to bridge that gap by introducing essential histopathology concepts to support AI developers in their research.

Pyroptosis, an excellent form of immunogenic cell death that can effectively activate antitumor immune responses, is attracting considerable interest as a promising approach for cancer immunotherapy. Immunogenic pyroptosis can recruit and stimulate dendritic cells to provoke further activation and tumor infiltration of T cells by releasing danger-associated molecular patterns, thus improving the tumor response to PD-1/PD-L1 checkpoint blockade immunotherapy. Here, we report the discovery of a bifunctional photosensitizer Nile Violet that can simultaneously trigger caspase-3/GSDME-mediated immunogenic pyroptosis and PD-L1 downregulation for cancer photoimmunotherapy.
