Dendritic cells and cancer: From biology to therapeutic intervention

In this review, we discuss the different subsets of tumor-infiltrating dendritic cells and their role in anti-tumor immunity

Research

Remission of peanut allergy is associated with rewiring of allergen-driven T helper 2-related gene networks

The immunological changes underpinning acquisition of remission (also called sustained unresponsiveness) following food immunotherapy remain poorly defined. Limited access to effective therapies and biosamples from treatment responders has prevented progress. Probiotic peanut oral immunotherapy is highly effective at inducing remission, providing an opportunity to investigate immune changes.

The relationship between medication literacy and skin adverse reactions in non-small-cell lung cancer patients undergoing targeted EGFR-The Kidstherapy

High medication literacy is the basis of rational medication application and is essential for the management of severe adverse drug reactions. The objective of the present study was to assess the level of medication literacy and determine the association between medication literacy and skin adverse drug reactions in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients undergoing targeted epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-The Kids) therapy.

Cross-presentation of cutaneous melanoma antigen by migratory XCR1+CD103− and XCR1+CD103+ dendritic cells

This report provides new insight into the functional specialization within the broad network of dendritic cells that are responsible for skin immunosurveillance

Research

T cells recognizing a 11mer influenza peptide complexed to H-2D b show promiscuity for peptide length

T-cell repertoire is selected according to self peptide-MHC (major histocompatibility complex) complexes in the thymus.

Research

Changes in cell morphology guide identification of tubulin as the off-target for protein kinase inhibitors

Early changes in cell morphology upon treatments are a strong indication that the inhibitor is directly targeting tubulin

Research

Novel GABAAR antagonists target networked gene hubs at the leading-edge in high-grade gliomas

Ion channel activity underlying biological processes that drive high-grade gliomas (HGG) is largely unknown. We aimed to determine the networking of ion channel genes and validate their expression within HGG patient tumors, to identify ion channel-targeting drugs that would inhibit tumor-promoting processes.
