Wed, 30 Aug 2023 13:18:55 EDT //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/08/230830131855.htm Researchers find male and female immune systems get trained differently in response to infections //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/08/230830131718.htm The human immune system is adaptive, remembering past infections and training itself to guard against future similar infections. But what happens when people have compromised immune systems due to chronic conditions, aging, or medications that decrease immunity as a side effect? In such cases, people can get opportunistic infections, so called because the germs causing illness would have been eradicated by a fully healthy immune system. Conditions and medicines causing immune suppression are on the rise, and so are patients experiencing opportunistic infection. Now, researchers have uncovered a sex-based variance in the trained immune memory response to infection in mice that might translate to humans.

A research team has now described a new, modular strategy for T-cell-based immunotherapy that manages to work without complex genetic modifications. Modulation of cell-cell communications through an ingenious regulatory circuit using various small, specially folded DNA molecules (aptamers) causes cancer cells to directly activate their mortal enemies, T cells. Wed, 23 Aug 2023 12:26:19 EDT //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/08/230823122619.htm New research shows how cancer rewires a key immune pathway to spread //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/08/230823122523.htm A study has discovered a new relationship between cancer cells and the immune system, and shows how cancer can selfishly hijack a normally helpful immune pathway. Wed, 23 Aug 2023 12:25:23 EDT //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/08/230823122523.htm Adding immunity to human kidney-on-a-chip advances cancer drug testing //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/08/230823122517.htm T cell bispecific antibodies (TCBs) are an emerging class of immunotherapeutics with several TCBs approved by the FDA for the treatment of leukemias, lymphomas, and myelomas. TCBs label tumor cells with one of their ends, and attract immune cells with another end to coerce them into tumor cell killing. However, one major challenge in the development of TCBs are 'on-target, off-tumor' toxicities at sites in the body that also express TCB-targeted antigens. Scientists have now created an immune-infiltrated human kidney organoid-on-chip model that allows kidney toxicity of TCBs.

The findings may pave the way for future personalized dietary recommendations to augment treatments for infection, cancer and other diseases. Fri, 28 Jul 2023 11:34:01 EDT //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/07/230728113401.htm New RNA-based therapy combats melanoma in mouse models //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/07/230727144130.htm Investigators have designed an innovative RNA-based strategy to activate dendritic cells--which play a key role in immune response -- that eradicated tumors and prevented their recurrence in mouse models of melanoma. The findings suggest that the approach has the potential to be effective against tumors that have already spread to other parts of the body and against different cancer types. Cancer cells employ strategies to switch off various stages of the cancer-immunity cycle, the process by which dendritic cells educate T cells to kill cancer cells. This immunosuppressive environment that impedes activation of cancer-killing T cells allows tumors to grow, say the researchers.

In treatments currently approved for use in battling lymphoma and leukemia, however, the therapy has a drawback: Amidst the cancer-killing frenzy, many engineered T cells become tainted with the remnants of cancer antigens, which causes them to turn on other T cells. This eventually depletes the body of cancer-fighting cells and opens the door for a recurrence of cancer. A new study, however, has identified a way to tame the self-destructive tendencies of these killer T cells. Thu, 27 Jul 2023 14:39:41 EDT //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/07/230727143941.htm
