Dual-Modality Imaging-Guided Manganese-Based Nanotransformer for Enhanced Gas-Photothermal Therapy Combined Immunotherapeutic Strategy Against Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
Activating the stimulator of the interferon gene (STING) is a promising immunotherapeutic strategy for converting "cold" tumor microenvironment into "hot" one to achieve better immunotherapy for malignant tumors. Herein, a manganese-based nanotransformer is presented, consisting of manganese carbonyl and cyanine dye, for MRI/NIR-II dual-modality imaging-guided multifunctional carbon monoxide (CO) gas treatment and photothermal therapy, along with triggering cGAS-STING immune pathway against... http://dlvr.it/T0RtT9

Nanotechnology Applications in Breast Cancer Immunotherapy
Next-generation cancer treatments are expected not only to target cancer cells but also to simultaneously train immune cells to combat cancer while modulating the immune-suppressive environment of tumors and hosts to ensure a robust and lasting response. Achieving this requires carriers that can codeliver multiple therapeutics to the right cancer and/or immune cells while ensuring patient safety. Nanotechnology holds great potential for addressing these challenges. This article highlights the... http://dlvr.it/T0RtSv

Safety and effectiveness of combination versus monotherapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors in patients with preexisting autoimmune diseases
Patients with preexisting autoimmune disease (pAID) are generally excluded from clinical trials for immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) for cancer due to concern of flaring pAID. In this multi-center, retrospective observational study, we compared safety of ICI combination (two ICI agents) versus monotherapy in cancer patients with pAIDs. The primary outcome was time to AEs (immune-related adverse events (irAEs) and/or pAID flares), with progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival as... http://dlvr.it/T0R6QS

Piezo1 facilitates optimal T cell activation during tumor challenge
Functional effector T cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME) are critical for successful anti-tumor responses. T cell anti-tumor function is dependent on their ability to differentiate from a naïve state, infiltrate into the tumor site, and exert cytotoxic functions. The factors dictating whether a particular T cell can successfully undergo these processes during tumor challenge are not yet completely understood. Piezo1 is a mechanosensitive cation channel with high expression on both CD4^(+)... http://dlvr.it/T0R6QM

Driver mutations in GNAQ and GNA11 genes as potential targets for precision immunotherapy in uveal melanoma patients
Uveal melanoma (UM) is the most common ocular malignancy in adults. Nearly 95% of UM patients carry the mutually exclusive mutations in the homologous genes GNAQ (amino acid change Q209L/Q209P) and GNA11 (aminoacid change Q209L). UM is located in an immunosuppressed organ and does not suffer immunoediting. Therefore, we hypothesize that driver mutations in GNAQ/11 genes could be recognized by the immune system. Genomic and transcriptomic data from primary uveal tumors were collected from the... http://dlvr.it/T0R6Q9

Mathematical modeling of cancer immunotherapy for personalized clinical translation
Encouraging advances are being made in cancer immunotherapy modeling, especially in the key areas of developing personalized treatment strategies based on individual patient parameters, predicting treatment outcomes and optimizing immunotherapy synergy when used in combination with other treatment approaches. Here we present a focused review of the most recent mathematical modeling work on cancer immunotherapy with a focus on clinical translatability. It can be seen that this field is... http://dlvr.it/T0R6Pk

Immunogenic chemotherapy: great potential for improving response rates
The activation of anti-tumor immunity is critical in treating cancers. Recent studies indicate that several chemotherapy agents can stimulate anti-tumor immunity by inducing immunogenic cell death and durably eradicate tumors. This suggests that immunogenic chemotherapy holds great potential for improving response rates. However, chemotherapy in practice has only had limited success in inducing long-term survival or cure of cancers when used either alone or in combination with immunotherapy. We... http://dlvr.it/T0R6Lm

Development, Characterization, and Radiation Dosimetry Studies of 18F-BMS-986229, a 18F-Labeled PD-L1 Macrocyclic Peptide PET Tracer
CONCLUSION: ^(18)F-BMS-986229 has been preclinically characterized and exhibits high target specificity, low background uptake, and a short blood half-life supportive of same day imaging in the clinic. As the PET tracer, ^(18)F-BMS-986229 shows promise in the quantification of PD-L1 expression, and its use in monitoring longitudinal changes in patients may provide insights into PD-1:PD-L1 immuno-therapy treatment outcomes. http://dlvr.it/T0QQvW

Amino acid catabolite markers for early prognostication of pneumonia in patients with COVID-19
Effective early-stage markers for predicting which patients are at risk of developing SARS-CoV-2 infection have not been fully investigated. Here, we performed comprehensive serum metabolome analysis of a total of 83 patients from two cohorts to determine that the acceleration of amino acid catabolism within 5 days from disease onset correlated with future disease severity. Increased levels of de-aminated amino acid catabolites involved in the de novo nucleotide synthesis pathway were identified... http://dlvr.it/T0QQvT

Type 17-specific immune pathways are active in early spondyloarthritis

Targeting Lysosome for Enhanced Cancer Photodynamic/Photothermal Therapy in a "One Stone Two Birds" Pattern
Highly immunogenic programmed death of tumor cells, such as immunogenic cell death (ICD) and pyroptosis, strengthens antitumor responses and thus represents a promising target for cancer immunotherapy. However, the development of ICD and pyroptosis inducers remains challenging, and their efficiency is typically compromised by self-protective autophagy. Here, we report a potent ICD and pyroptosis-inducing strategy by coupling combined photodynamic/photothermal therapy (PTT/PDT) to biological... http://dlvr.it/T0Q1Vb

Functional Nucleic Acid-Based Immunomodulation for T Cell-Mediated Cancer Therapy
T cell-mediated immunity plays a pivotal role in cancer immunotherapy. The anticancer actions of T cells are coordinated by a sequence of biological processes, including the capture and presentation of antigens by antigen-presenting cells (APCs), the activation of T cells by APCs, and the subsequent killing of cancer cells by activated T cells. However, cancer cells have various means to evade immune responses. Meanwhile, these vulnerabilities provide potential targets for cancer treatments.... http://dlvr.it/T0Q1VZ

A Bacterial and Ganglioside-based Nanoparticle Initiates Reprogramming of Macrophages and Promotes Antitumor Phenotypes
Macrophages represent the most abundant immune component of the tumor microenvironment and often exhibit protumorigenic (M2-like) phenotypes that contribute to disease progression. Despite their generally accepted protumorigenic role, macrophages can also display tumoricidal (or M1-like) behavior, revealing that macrophages can be functionally reprogrammed, depending on the cues received within the tumor microenvironment. Moreover, such plasticity may be achieved by pharmacologic or biologic... http://dlvr.it/T0Q1VX

Protein Tyrosine Phosphatases as Emerging Targets for Cancer Immunotherapy
Contemporary strategies in cancer immunotherapy, despite remarkable success, remain constrained by inherent limitations such as suboptimal patient responses, the emergence of drug resistance, and the manifestation of pronounced adverse effects. Consequently, the exigency for alternative strategies for immunotherapy becomes palpable. Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) wield a pivotal regulatory influence over an array of essential cellular processes. Substantial research has underscored the... http://dlvr.it/T0PTQT
