Scientists Develop “Velcro” Cancer Treatment That Works Across Many Tumor Types

/in , /by

Researchers at the University of California, Irvine have developed an innovative cancer immunotherapy called GlyTR, a new class of treatment that uses a “velcro-like” mechanism to target sugar molecules abundantly present on cancer cells. Their findings were published in September 2025 in the prestigious journal Cell, marking a significant advancement in cancer immunotherapy. Traditional immunotherapies […]

New Study Uncovers Mechanism Behind T-Cell Exhaustion, Offering Hope for Prostate Cancer Immunotherapy

/in , /by

A study from The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center has illuminated a critical reason why cancer immunotherapy often fails: T-cell exhaustion driven by a novel stress pathway called TexPSR (proteotoxic stress response in T-cell exhaustion). Published in the prestigious journal Nature, this discovery reveals a proteotoxic shock in exhausted T cells caused by the […]

AI Platform Aims to Revolutionize Cancer Immunotherapy

/in , , /by

A new AI platform developed by researchers at the Technical University of Denmark and the Scripps Research Institute has dramatically accelerated the design of specialized protein molecules called “minibinders” to enhance cancer immunotherapy. Normally, T cells recognize cancer cells by detecting protein fragments (peptides) presented on their surface by molecules known as pMHCs, but harnessing […]

Breakthrough in Cancer Immunotherapy: In Situ CAR-T Cell Generation Offers Hope for Lymphoma and Beyond

/in , , /by

A groundbreaking study led by Stanford Medicine, published in Cancer Immunology Research, has introduced a revolutionary approach to generating chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells directly inside the body, offering a promising new avenue for cancer treatment. This “in situ” method, which uses mRNA delivered via lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), successfully treated B-cell lymphoma in mice and […]
