CD5-expressing dendritic cells help to prime T cell responses against cancer

Immunotherapy has transformed cancer care. In advanced melanoma, for example, the most fatal form of skin cancer, the five-year survival rate has risen from less than 10% to more than 50% since immunotherapy was introduced in 2011.

Improved efficacy of advanced genome editing with machine learning

Researchers at the Wellcome Sanger Institute have developed a new tool to estimate the probability of successfully introducing a gene-edited DNA sequence into a cell’s genome using the prime editing method.

High diversity in T-cell receptor genes explains diverse response to infections

Researchers from Karolinska Institutet have demonstrated that the genes that encode the T cell receptors change significantly between individuals and communities, which could help explain why people react differently to certain diseases.

Developing a potential drug molecule that targets STAT5

STAT5 has generally been recognized as an enticing cancer target, but after years of research, it was downgraded to the “undruggable” category. Now, scientists at the University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center have achieved success with a novel approach.

Reversal of ADAR1 hyper-editing with small molecule inhibitor

Researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine, Sanford Stem Cell Institute and Moores Cancer Center report that a late-stage, pre-clinical small molecule inhibitor, called rebecsinib, reverses malignant hyper-editing by an inflammation-induced protein isoform, known as ADAR1 p150.

B lymphocytes stimulate the in-demand production of innate immune cells during infection

An SOS signals a call for immediate action during an emergency to request a need for protection. The immune system, a network of defense mechanisms, enhances protection to recover the body's internal stability.
