  • Besides modification based on a second-generation CAR, more advanced CAR-immune cell therapeutics are being tested, which utilize precise insertion of genes to circumvent graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) or employ a dual targeting approach and adapter CARs in order to avoid therapy resistance caused by antigen loss. (nature.com)
  • Thereby, several antigens can be targeted at once and the therapy can be adapted in case antigen-loss tumor variants appear. (nature.com)
  • To evaluate anti-CD19-CAR-transduced T cells in a murine model of adoptive T-cell therapy, we developed a CAR that specifically recognized murine CD19. (ashpublications.org)
  • NF-κB and STAT-3 are representative transcription factors (TFs) that have long been associated with cancer stemness, thus presenting as attractive targets for cancer therapy. (bvsalud.org)
  • Such knowledge will help uncover the many levels of tight regulations that control cancer stemness, providing novel opportunities and targets for therapy in the process. (bvsalud.org)
  • Overview of Cancer Therapy Curing cancer requires eliminating all cells capable of causing cancer recurrence in a person's lifetime. (msdmanuals.com)
  • Novel therapeutic strategies have been investigated, and immunotherapy has been recently approved for the treatment of various types of cancer [ 4 ]. (hindawi.com)
  • We made substantial progress in 2022 as we work to develop our novel arenaviral immunotherapies against a variety of cancers and infectious diseases. (financialcontent.com)
  • Therefore, many patients suffer from the adverse effects of the treatment in addition to therapeutic resistance and cancer recurrence. (hindawi.com)
  • In this paper, an antitumour model for characterising radiotherapy and immunotherapy processes at different fixed times is proposed. (hindawi.com)
  • Proton beam radiotherapy is an emerging treatment tool for cancer. (ndltd.org)
  • Immunotherapy includes the use of antigen- and nonantigen-specific substances, such as cytokines, as well as adoptive cellular immunotherapy (ACI) [ 3 ]. (hindawi.com)
  • Nevertheless, ex vivo activation with cytokines can restore cytolytic activity of NK cells against GB, indicating that NK cells have potential for adoptive immunotherapy of GB if potent cytotoxicity can be maintained in vivo . (frontiersin.org)
  • The ACTolog approach targets tumor-specific antigens to fight cancer. (pharmacytimes.com)
  • We believe that attacking multiple cancer targets simultaneously using our tailored approach may lead to promising new treatment options for cancer patients with significant unmet medical need. (pharmacytimes.com)
  • The term "oncotarget" encompasses all molecules, pathways, cellular functions, cell types, and even tissues that can be viewed as targets relevant to cancer as well as other diseases. (oncotarget.com)
  • Two of the primary immunotherapies are immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) and adoptive cell transfer (ACT). (elifesciences.org)
