Celyad Oncology Announces Clinical Trial Collaboration to Evaluate CYAD-101 with KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab) in Patients with Microsatellite Stable mCRC

Celyad Oncology SA, announced that the Company has entered into a clinical trial collaboration with MSD, a tradename of Merck & Co., Inc., through a subsidiary. Celyad Oncology will conduct the Phase Ib KEYNOTE-B79 clinical trial, which will evaluate Celyad Oncology’s investigational non-gene edited allogeneic CAR T candidate, CYAD-101, following FOLFIRI preconditioning chemotherapy, with MSD’s anti-­PD-­1 therapy, KEYTRUDA® in refractory metastatic colorectal cancer patients with microsatellite stable/ mismatch-repair proficient disease.

Why Do Intestinal Epithelial Cells Express MHC Class II?

Recent studies investigating the role of MHC class II+ exosomes released by Intestinal epithelial cells report conflicting findings of either immune enhancing or immunosuppressive activities. In addition to modulating inflammatory responses, recent findings suggest that MHC class II expression by intestinal stem cells may elicit crosstalk that promotes epithelial renewal.

Interleukin-8 as a Candidate for Thymoma Identification and Recurrence Surveillance

Scientists identified interleukin-8 as a biomarker for auxiliary diagnosis of thymoma. They found that IL-8 levels in naïve T cells were markedly elevated in patients with thymoma compared to those with other thymic tumors.

SIRT1 Is Downregulated by Autophagy in Senescence and Ageing

Researchers report that macroautophagy a catabolic membrane trafficking pathway that degrades cellular components through autophagosomes and lysosomes, mediates the downregulation of mammalian SIRT1 protein during senescence and in vivo ageing.

Interleukin-33 Activates Regulatory T Cells to Suppress Innate γδ T Cell Responses in the Lung

Scientists describe an unexpected function of ST2+ regulatory T cells in suppressing the innate immune response in the lung to environmental allergens without altering the adaptive immune response.

Enhanced Safety and Anti-Tumor Efficacy of Switchable Dual Chimeric Antigen Receptor-Engineered T Cell against Solid Tumor through a Synthetic Bifunctional PD-L1-Blocking Peptide

Scientists constructed a switchable dual receptor chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell whose activity was relied upon double antigens and was strictly controlled by a “switch” consisting of a PD-L1 blocking peptide conjugated to fluorescein isothiocyanate.
