🚗 #CARCellTherapy shows clinical success, but its toxicity, off-target effects, and manufacturing challenges limit widespread adoption. In a new review, the Janson lab from Uppsala universitet provides insights into optimising CAR-cell therapies for durable responses in solid


The immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment formed by many solid tumors, particularly #ColonCancer, limits #TCell infiltration. Nanjing University researchers encapsulated combretastatin A4 in human serum albumin, overcoming the immunosuppression: bit.ly/44qvA1m





🧬 Researchers identified effective drug target genes to reduce rheumatoid #arthritis risk through the multi-genome-wide association studies analysis. Postgraduate Medical Journal | bit.ly/46aCzNg



🧫 Scientists at Harvard Medical School found that IL-4 suppressed CD8+ T cell acquisition of an epithelial tissue-resident memory T cell phenotype. Check it out! 👉 Nature Immunology | go.nature.com/3UqRxYg


🔎 Scientists identified CD11c+ CD8+ T cells, an unconventional cytotoxic T cell subset, as significantly enriched and activated in early pregnancy loss cases. 📖 Nature Communications | go.nature.com/40xzUtm


💡 Investigators with Dr. Brian Laight, PhD at Sinclair Cancer Research Institute demonstrated the role of the nonreceptor tyrosine kinase Fes, abundantly expressed in immune cells, as an innate intracellular immune checkpoint. Cancer Research | bit.ly/4m9rj8A


🚦 Researchers suggested that human memory CD8+ T cell cytotoxicity is intricately regulated by environmental cues reflecting tissue location and #antigen specificity. Science Immunology | bit.ly/4lEL7Ri



TGFβ-mediated signals involving IL-4 and PD-1 enable CD8+ T cells to establish tissue-residence in skin nature.com/articles/s4159… Niro Anandasabapathy nature.com/articles/s4159… Nature Immunology preview by Prlic Lab nature.com/articles/s4159…



✅ Dr. Beate Kristmann and team at Uniklinikum Tübingen investigated the expression of CD276, an immune checkpoint molecule and promising target antigen for CAR-T therapy in small cell lung cancer, at the RNA and protein level. 👉 bit.ly/4l1Wvpa


📢 The The American Association of Immunologists (AAI) has launched an $8 million emergency funding initiative to support scientists whose immunology-focused NIH funding was terminated or frozen in 2025! 🤩 Learn more about the RESTORE Grant Program: bit.ly/3Hd74Ib





💡 Scientists showed that tumor cells expressing protein C receptor dampen #antitumor immunity by promoting the production of interleukin-6, which inhibits the differentiation of T helper 1 cells and suppresses the function of CD8+ T cells. Nature Communications | go.nature.com/45BzZPA
