Background: Adaptive cellular therapy (ACT), particularly chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy, has been successful in the treatment of hemopoietic malignancies. However, poor trafficking of administered effector T cells to the tumor poses a great hurdle for this otherwise powerful therapeutic approach in solid cancers. Our previous study revealed that targeting CD93 normalizes tumor vascular functions to improve immune checkpoint blockade therapy.

Continuous vaso-occlusive and inflammatory processes cause extensive end-organ damage in adults with sickle cell disease (SCD), and there is little evidence that longterm hydroxyurea therapy prevents this. In initial trials, P-selectin blockade with crizanlizumab reduced SCD vaso-occlusive crisis frequency, and interleukin (IL)-1β inhibition in SCD patients, using canakinumab, lowered inflammatory markers. We used murine SCD models to examine the effects of acute and chronic blockade of Pselectin and of IL-1β on vaso-occlusive events, their inflammatory profile and organ health.

Despite advancements in cancer immunotherapy, most lymphomas remain unresponsive to checkpoint inhibitors. P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1), recently identified as a promoter of T-cell exhaustion in murine melanoma models, has emerged as a novel immune checkpoint protein and promising immunotherapeutic target. In this study, we investigated the potential of PSGL-1 antibody targeting in B-cell lymphoma.

Over the last two decades, the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer patients have considerably improved. However, brain metastases remain a major clinical challenge and a leading cause of mortality. Thus, a better understanding of the pathways involved in the metastatic cascade is essential.

Nasal vaccination elicits a humoral immune response that provides protection from airborne pathogens, yet the origins and specific immune niches of antigen-specific IgA-secreting cells in the upper airways are unclear. Here we define nasal glandular acinar structures and the turbinates as immunological niches that recruit IgA-secreting plasma cells from the nasal-associated lymphoid tissues (NALTs). Using intact organ imaging, we demonstrate that nasal vaccination induces B cell expansion in the subepithelial dome of the NALT, followed by invasion into commensal-bacteria-driven chronic germinal centres in a T cell-dependent manner.
