We have previously shown that vaccination with tumor-pulsed dendritic cells amplifies neoantigen recognition in ovarian cancer. Here, in a phase 1 clinical study ( NCT01312376 /UPCC26810) including 19 patients, we show that such responses are further reinvigorated by subsequent adoptive transfer of vaccine-primed, ex vivo-expanded autologous peripheral blood T cells. The treatment is safe, and epitope spreading with novel neopeptide reactivities was observed after cell infusion in patients who experienced clinical benefit, suggesting reinvigoration of tumor-sculpting immunity.

Immunotherapy has been advanced through multiple approaches, including immunogenic cytokines, monoclonal antibodies, therapeutic vaccinations, adoptive cell transfer, stem cell transplantation, and oncolytic viruses. This review analyses various strategies in genomics, transcriptomics, single-cell techniques, computational analysis, big data, and imaging technologies for the identification of tumour microbiota and microenvironments. Immunotherapy is becoming acknowledged as a feasible cancer treatment method, facilitating innovative cancer medicines and personalized medicine techniques.

Purpose: Immunotherapy is a promising treatment for cancers but should be optimized for malignant gliomas. Because of immune privilege feature of the brain, local administration of immunotherapy may be a promising strategy for malignant glioma treatment. Identification of patients who may benefit from local immunotherapy is essential.

Background: Natural killer (NK) cell immunotherapy has shown promising therapeutic potential for acute myeloid leukemia (AML), especially with advancements in chimeric antigen receptor-engineered NK cells (CAR-NK) and artificial intelligence (AI). Despite these developments, the field lacks comprehensive bibliometric analyses to identify research hotspots and trends, which could guide future precision treatments.
Methods: A bibliometric analysis of NK cell immunotherapy for AML was conducted using literature from 2000 to 2023 retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection database.

Chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy has shown remarkable success in hematologic malignancies but has encountered challenges in effectively treating solid tumors. One major obstacle is the presence of the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME), which is mainly built by myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs). Recent studies have shown that MDSCs have a detrimental effect on CAR-T cells due to their potent immunosuppressive capabilities.

Established and emergent microengineered in vitro systems enable the evaluation of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell product purity, avidity, and functionality. Here, we describe such systems and how they have been used to optimize CAR T cell products by selecting highly viable cells, eliminating off-target cells, and tailoring avidity to balance efficacy and safety. The future of CAR T cell therapy development and manufacturing is expected to be anchored in a cyclical process that integrates multiple high-throughput and patient-centered techniques for identifying, enriching, and evaluating T cell subtypes.
