NRF2 Activation Confers Resistance to eIF4A Inhibitors in Cancer Therapy

Linlin Cao

Inhibition of the eIF4A RNA helicase with silvestrol and related compounds is emerging as a powerful anti-cancer strategy. We find that a synthetic silvestrol analogue (CR-1-31 B) has nanomolar activity across many cancer cell lines. It is especially activ ...

Personalized cancer vaccine strategy elicits polyfunctional T cells and demonstrates clinical benefits in ovarian cancer

George Coukos, Florian Huber, Stéphanie Tissot, Johanna Pauline Chiffelle, Alexandre Harari

T cells are important for controlling ovarian cancer (OC). We previously demonstrated that combinatorial use of a personalized whole-tumor lysate-pulsed dendritic cell vaccine (OCDC), bevacizumab (Bev), and cyclophosphamide (Cy) elicited neoantigen-specifi ...
