Effect of interferon receptor pathway on CAR-T cell-mediated killing of solid tumors
Researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) have found that interferon gamma receptor (IFNgR) signaling is essential for the susceptibility of CAR-T cell immunotherapy to kill malignant gliomas. The same phenomenon has been observed in other solid tumors. The findings may partially explain why liquid and solid tumors respond very differently to CAR-T cell therapy. Chimeric antigen ...

The Mode of Action of Basic Proteins Involved in Cancer and Alzheimer's Disease Found
These proteins belonging to the HAT family are essential for life because they transport amino acids to the cell membrane. Although members of the family are nearly identical, they selectively transport certain amino acids. This specificity determines their involvement in specific functions, such as cell growth or neuronal function, and consequently in related diseases, such as cancer or ...
