Phase I study shows that mRNA-based individualised neoantigen specific immunotherapy (iNeST) vaccines can be used to stimulate T cells to recognise neoantigens in pancreatic cancer patients.
Edward Samuel, EVP Technical Operations at Achilles Therapeutics, explains why industrialised manufacturing and scale-up of autologous cellular immunotherapies will require fully closed systems and process automation.
Most therapeutic approaches in immuno-oncology focus on targeting the adaptive immune system; innate immunity has only recently gathered momentum. One of the most potent receptors for activating innate immune cells such as natural killer cells and macrophages is CD16A. Addressing this target mimics the body’s natural defense against potential threats,…
Features in this in-depth focus highlight developments in the MRI contrast agent space, explore the development of precision medicine for chronic diseases and explain why immunotherapies should engage the innate immune system in the fight against cancer.
A team of scientists has developed a spherical nucleic acid (SNA) vaccine, which has demonstrated high efficacy as a COVID-19 therapy, as well as an anti-cancer treatment in rodents.
An artificial intelligence (AI)-based test was able to predict cancer patients’ response to drugs more accurately than is currently possible with genetic testing, finds proof-of-concept study.
Pre-clinical research demonstrates the potential of a new implantable biotechnology called MASTER to produce and release CAR T cells in vivo.
New pre-clinical research suggests a 24-hour manufacturing process that produces fewer, more potent CAR T cells could be the key to both reducing production timelines and improving patient access to cell therapies.
