The TNF-α/TNFR2 Pathway: Targeting a Brake to Release the Anti-tumor Immune Response.

Newly discovered anti-cancer immunotherapies, such as immune checkpoint inhibitors and chimeric antigen receptor T cells, focus on spurring the anti-tumor effector T cell (Teff) response. Although such strategies have already demonstrated a sustained beneficial effect in certain malignancies, a substantial proportion of treated patients does not respond. CD4+FOXP3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs), a suppressive subset of T cells, can impair anti-tumor responses and reduce the efficacy of currently available immunotherapies. An alternative view that has emerged over the last decade proposes to tackl

Immunotherapy for precision medicine in colorectal cancer.

IntroductionColorectal cancer (CRC) is the fourth most common cancer and second leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States. The implementation of CRC screening has decreased CRC incidence in adults older than 65 years. However, among young adults who experience more aggressive disease progression, CRC incidence has been increasing for decades. Immunotherapy represents a collection of innovative and promising approaches with greater efficacy and safety. In this review, we discuss modalities and selected targets of immunotherapies for CRCs that are guided by precision medicine.Ar

The Circular Life of Human CD38: From Basic Science to Clinics and Back.

Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) were initially considered as a possible "magic bullet" for in vivo elimination of tumor cells. mAbs represented the first step: however, as they were murine in nature (the earliest experience on the field), they were considered unfit for human applications. This prompted the development of techniques for cloning the variable regions of conventional murine antibodies, genetically mounted on human IgG. The last step in this years-long process was the design for the preparation of fully human reagents. The choice of the target molecule was also problematic, since canc

Novel immunotherapeutic strategies of gastric cancer treatment.

Gastric cancer (GC) is the fourth most common cancer and the second most frequent cause of cancer-related deaths, accounting for 10.4% of cancer deaths worldwide. Despite the improvements, estimated cure rates for patients with advanced stages remain poor, and in the metastatic setting, chemotherapy is the mainstay of palliative therapy and results in objective response rates (ORRs) of only 20-40% and median overall survivals (OS) of 8-10 months. Therefore, many investigators believe that the potential for making significant progress lies in understanding and exploiting the molecular biology o

Checkpoint inhibition and beyond: Precision immune engineering for the immune-privileged landscape of ocular malignancies.

Ocular malignancies, particularly uveal and conjunctival melanoma, exemplify tumors that evolve within one of the body's most immunologically constrained ecosystems, the eye's immune-privileged microenvironment. The limited success of PD-1/PD-L1 and CTLA-4 blockade in these cancers underscores the need to move beyond linear checkpoint inhibition toward multidimensional immune engineering. Through the confluence of synthetic bio-nanotechnology, AI-guided immunogenomics, and spatial immunomics, this review reframes ocular immunotherapy and redefines how tolerance and immunity might be programmat

Interleukin-6 as Biomarker for Acute GvHD and Survival After Allogeneic Transplant With Post-transplant Cyclophosphamide.

Background: Although the outcome of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) has dramatically improved in the past decade, it is still compromised by transplant-related mortality (TRM), mainly caused by Graft-vs. -Host Disease (GvHD). Methods: We conducted a prospective observational study to ascertain the potential of serum interleukin-6 (IL6) levels, measured before conditioning and 7 days after allo-HSCT, in predicting acute GvHD, TRM and survival after allo-HSCT with Post-Transplant Cyclophosphamide (PT-Cy) based GvHD prophylaxis. Results: Between April 2014 and June

Choice of Unmanipulated T Cell Replete Graft for Haploidentical Stem Cell Transplant and Posttransplant Cyclophosphamide in Hematologic Malignancies in Adults: Peripheral Blood or Bone Marrow-Review of Published Literature.

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (SCT) is often the only curative option for many patients with malignant and benign hematological stem cell disorders. However, some issues are still of concern regarding finding a donor like shrinking family sizes in many societies, underrepresentation of the ethnic minorities in the registries, genetic variability for some races, and significant delays in obtaining stem cells after starting the search. So there is a considerable need to develop alternate donor stem cell sources. The rapid and near universal availability of the haploidentical

Different origin-derived exosomes and their clinical advantages in cancer therapy.

Exosomes, as a class of small extracellular vesicles closely related to the biological behavior of various types of tumors, are currently attracting research attention in cancer diagnosis and treatment. Regarding cancer diagnosis, the stability of their membrane structure and their wide distribution in body fluids render exosomes promising biomarkers. It is expected that exosome-based liquid biopsy will become an important tool for tumor diagnosis in the future. For cancer treatment, exosomes, as the "golden communicators" between cells, can be designed to deliver different drugs, aiming to ac

Application and Challenges of Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cell Therapy in Systemic Rheumatic Diseases and Autoimmune Disorders.

Chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy, originally developed for hematologic malignancies, has emerged as a transformative candidate for systemic rheumatic diseases and autoimmune disorders (AIDs). Its unique efficacy in refractory AIDs relies on depleting autoreactive B cells and driving antigen-naïve immune reconstitution, achieving durable drug-free remission in early-phase trials. Despite promising clinical and serological responses lasting 2-5 years without long-term immunosuppression, the field faces unmet needs: complex manufacturing, limited tissue penetration, antigen escape

Tumor Biology Hides Novel Therapeutic Approaches to Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma: A Narrative Review.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a malignancy of immense biological and clinical heterogeneity. Based on the transcriptomic or genomic approach, several different classification schemes have evolved over the years to subdivide DLBCL into clinically (prognostically) relevant subsets, but each leaves unclassified samples. Herein, we outline the DLBCL tumor biology behind the actual and potential drug targets and address the challenges and drawbacks coupled with their (potential) use. Therapeutic modalities are discussed, including small-molecule inhibitors, naked antibodies, antibody-dru

Prospects for Development and Commercialisation of Allogeneic CAR-Based Therapies for Autoimmune Disease.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapies represent a promising therapeutic approach for refractory autoimmune diseases. Although autologous CAR-T cells have achieved success thus far, they require expensive, individualised manufacturing, limiting their commercialisation potential. Allogeneic alternatives could overcome these scalability barriers, providing 'off-the-shelf' treatments, although they raise the issues of graft-vs-host reactions and host-mediated rejection. To mitigate such risks, gene-edited αβ T cells or non-alloreactive host cells (e.g., NK cells, γδ T cells) may be used

Targeting immunosenescence for improved tumor immunotherapy.

Tumor immunotherapy has significantly transformed the field of oncology over the past decade. An optimal tumor immunotherapy would ideally elicit robust innate and adaptive immune responses within tumor immune microenvironment (TIME). Unfortunately, immune system experiences functional decline with chronological age, a process termed "immunosenescence," which contributes to impaired immune responses against pathogens, suboptimal vaccination outcomes, and heightened vulnerability to various diseases, including cancer. In this context, we will elucidate hallmarks and molecular mechanisms underly

Guarding the heart in the era of immunotherapies: insights for cardio-oncology practice.

The advent of cancer immunotherapies, including immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI), Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR-T) cell therapies, and bispecific antibodies and other immune-activating platforms such as therapeutic vaccines and oncolytic viruses (often used in combination regimens) has revolutionized oncology by improving patient outcomes across diverse malignancies. However, these therapies are increasingly linked to cardiovascular toxicities such as myocarditis, arrhythmias, and heart failure, posing significant clinical challenges. Here we review current evidence on the mechanisms, clini
