A Genomic Barcode Tracker For Immune Cells

Researchers from the Garvan Institute of Medical Research have developed a new method to spot rare immune cells that are reactive against cancer cells, from within a patient’s own  system. The patented ‘RAGE-seq’ method enables scientists to track how immune cells evolve inside tumour tissue for the first time, revealing unprecedented insight into how to better arm…

Immunotherapy Could Work Against Bowel Cancers

The researches find that the bowel cancer who have stopped responding to a widely used targeted drug could benefit from immunotherapy, a major new study reveals. Scientists found that bowel tumours which had initially responded to cetuximab before developing resistance became more visible to the immune system potentially leaving them vulnerable to immunotherapies. A phase II…

Improve Immune Based Therapies by Modulating T-Cells

The researches find that the improve immune-based treatments, such as adoptive T-cell therapy (ACT) and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT); by modulating T-cells with thioredoxin, a powerful, naturally occurring antioxidant molecule. ACT is a cancer immunotherapy in which the patient’s own immune cells (T-cells) are engineer to recognize cancer cell-specific markers. First, the patient’s blood…
