Hypoxia-Sensing CAR T Cells Provide Safety and Efficacy in Treating Solid Tumors

Using murine xenograft models, scientists demonstrated that, despite widespread expression of ErbB receptors in healthy organs, the approach provided anti-tumor efficacy without off-tumor toxicity.

Atractylenolide I Enhances Responsiveness to Immune Checkpoint Blockade Therapy by Activating Tumor Antigen Presentation

In syngeneic mouse colorectal cancer (CRC) models and human patient-derived CRC organoid models, atractylenolide I treatment promoted the cytotoxicity of CD8+ T cells and thus profoundly enhanced the efficacy of immune checkpoint blockade therapy.
