Exploration and modulation of mechanical cues for enhanced cancer immunotherapy
The advent of immunotherapy, such as immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) and adoptive transfer of cytotoxic lymphocytes, has transformed the clinical care of cancer. However, a significant proportion of patients are resistant to immunotherapy or experience re ...
EPFL2024Development of cysteine cathepsin inhibitors combined with cell type-specific delivery for the treatment of B-cell lymphoma and solid tumors
Cysteine cathepsins proteases are enzymes that play essential physiological roles, but their activity is also associated to different aspects of cancer progression and to the development of other diseases. Therefore, cysteine cathepsins are relevant and pr ...
EPFL2024Unlocking Hidden Potential: Exploring the Complexities of Signaling in Immune Cell Activation to Optimize CAR Therapy
Chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) are synthetic, transmembrane proteins that trigger immune cell signaling following their engagement. They have been first utilized in T cells and later in natural killer (NK) cells to redirect their cytotoxicity toward a s ...
EPFL2023Investigating the effect of inflammation on the progression of B-cell lymphoma dissemination in the sentinel lymph node
Lymphomas are a group of heterogeneous blood cancers that arise from lymphocytes. The two primary clinical classifications of lymphomas are Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL), and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). In particular, B-cell lymphoma refers to the malignancies ...
EPFL2023Induction of a strong and long-lasting neutralizing immune response by dPreS1-TLR2 agonist nanovaccine against hepatitis B virus
Hepatitis B virus remains a major medical burden with more than 250 million chronically infected patients worldwide and 900,000 deaths each year, due to the disease progression towards severe complications (cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma). Despite the ...
ELSEVIER2023Development of stimuli-responsive chemistry for tumor-targeted immunotherapy
Cancer immunotherapy is the science of boosting the immune response of patients to fight cancer. Recent advances have brought up treatments with huge success in the clinic. Patients with ad-vanced-stage cancers were long-term cured through checkpoint inhib ...
EPFL2023Hyperthermic intrathoracic chemotherapy to control malignant pleural mesothelioma
OBJECTIVE: Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare disease that has a poor response to conventional therapy. Hyperthermic intrathoracic chemotherapy (HITOC), a treatment combining fever-range hyperthermia with intrapleural cisplatin chemotherapy, ha ...
EPFL2023Nanotechnology enabled modulation of T cell immunity for cancer treatment
Recent breakthroughs in cancer immunotherapy, exemplified by immune checkpoint blockade and CAR T cell therapy, have achieved remarkable clinical success. However, the majority of cancer patients fail to respond to immunotherapy or suffer from relapse. Nan ...
EPFL2023Stromal Notch ligands foster lymphopenia-driven functional plasticity and homeostatic proliferation of naive B cells
In lymphopenic environments, secondary lymphoid organs regulate the size of B and T cell compartments by supporting the homeostatic proliferation of mature lymphocytes. The molecular mechanisms underlying these responses and their functional consequences r ...
AMER SOC CLINICAL INVESTIGATION INC2022Using Machine Learning to Predict Mortality for COVID-19 Patients on Day 0 in the ICU
Nahal Mansouri, Sahand Jamal Rahi
Rationale: Given the expanding number of COVID-19 cases and the potential for new waves of infection, there is an urgent need for early prediction of the severity of the disease in intensive care unit (ICU) patients to optimize treatment strategies.Objecti ...
