…is a procedure in which a patient’s immune T cells are modified to produce proteins on their surface that let them hunt cancer cells. The cells then get injected back…
…tumor microenvironment (TME) and prevent immune cells from effectively responding. It is an area where conventional treatments, be it checkpoint inhibitors or CAR-T cell therapies, struggle to gain traction. CAR-T…

…by targeting the protein amyloid-beta. Reynolds told me that, while amyloid-beta is likely important in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease, it could be too late to target this protein…
…closer to a Treg vaccine that recognizes a patient’s specific repertoire of self-antigens: it distinguishes between these and the “correct” ones to act only when required. To us, our technology…
…therapy has made significant strides in the treatment of hematological malignancies, yet solid tumors remain resistant to current CAR-T strategies due to suppression by the tumor microenvironment. “The preclinical data…
