The pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) supplies abundant reducing equivalents and biosynthetic precursors to support the rapid proliferation of tumor cells. An increased PPP flux is a hallmark of ...
T cell activation—the process by which these key immune defenders recognize threats and mobilize against them—depends on exquisitely timed molecular signals. Now researchers have captured one of the ...
Brain metastases (BrM) are the most common type of intracerebral tumor in adults [1]. Although innovations in tumor research have continuously improved the quality of life and survival of such ...
Metabolism guides the activation states of regulatory T cells, the immune cells that prevent inappropriate activation of the immune system. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists recently ...
Sjögren’s disease (SjD) is a chronic, multisystem autoimmune disorder characterised by lymphocytic infiltration of exocrine ...
The researchers used lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) to deliver cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP) synthase (cGAS) mRNA to cancer cells. This results in production of the endogenous stimulator of interferon genes ...
Creatine, the organic acid that is popularly taken as a supplement by athletes and bodybuilders, supercharges a critical class of immune cells that activate and prepare the body’s key cancer-fighters, ...
Antibodies are most well-known for their ability to recognize and bind specific antigens—a property that has made them indispensable for both the laboratory and clinic. However, antibodies are not ...
In several disease conditions, including infections and cancers, innate immune activation and nutrient scarcity occur together. A study from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, published in Cell, ...
Target selection leverages DLL3’s high tumor-surface expression in SCLC/LCNEC and limited normal-tissue expression, while dnTGFBR2 “armoring” aims to blunt TGF-β–mediated T-cell suppression. Dose ...
