Injectable cryogel-based whole-cell cancer vaccines

Thomas Michael Braschler, Sidi Ahmed Bencherif

A biomaterial-based vaccination system that uses minimal extracorporeal manipulation could provide in situ enhancement of dendritic cell (DC) numbers, a physical space where DCs interface with transplanted tumour cells, and an immunogenic context. Here we ...

Targeting the tumor-draining lymph node with adjuvanted nanoparticles reshapes the anti-tumor immune response

Efthymia Vokali, Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Melody Swartz, Amanda Waite Lund, Susan Thomas

Accumulating evidence implicates the tumor-draining lymph node (TDLN) in tumor-induced immune escape, as it drains regulatory molecules and leukocytes from the tumor microenvironment. We asked whether targeted delivery of adjuvant to the TDLN, presumably a ...

Electrochemical Biochip for Applications to Wireless and Batteryless Monitoring of Free-Moving Mice

Giovanni De Micheli, Sandro Carrara, Camilla Baj-Rossi

A multi-sensing platform for applications in wireless and batteryless monitoring of free-moving small animals is presented in this paper. The proposed platform hosts six sensors: four biosensors for sensing of both disease biomarkers and therapeutic compou ...

Assessing metastasis risk after pre-operative anti-angiogenic therapy

Michele De Palma, Daniela Biziato

Anti‐angiogenic drugs are approved for the treatment of several cancer types, generally in the inoperable locally advanced or metastatic setting and in combination with other anti‐cancer agents. Recent clinical studies also suggest that anti‐angiogenic dru ...

Targeting and Modulating Tumor-Associated Sites with Novel Nanoparticle-Based Immunotherapies

Laura Jeanbart

Cancer is a global disease and a leading cause of death worldwide. While surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy comprise the classical tools to eradicate tumors, they do not cure cancer, cannot prevent metastases, lead to side effects, and most importantly ...

Synthesis and characterization of a new class of anti-angiogenic agent based on ruthenium clusters

Paul Joseph Dyson, Hubert van den Bergh, Patrycja Nowak-Sliwinska, Alexey Nazarov, Olivier Pierre Zava, Michael Groessl, Mathurin Baquié

New triruthenium-carbonyl clusters derivatized with glucose-modified bicyclophosphite ligands have been synthesized. These compounds were found to have cytostatic and cytotoxic activity and depending on the number of bicyclophosphite ligands, and could be ...

The molecular mechanisms of antimetastatic ruthenium compounds explored through DIGE proteomics

Paul Joseph Dyson, Angela Casini

DIGE (difference in gel electrophoresis) proteomics is exploited here to gain insight into the molecular mechanisms of two established ruthenium-based antimetastatic agents, namely trans-[tetrachloro (DMSO) (imidazole)ruthenate(III)] (NAMI-A) and [Ru(eta(6 ...

A New Twist on Radiation Oncology: Low-Dose Irradiation Elicits Immunostimulatory Macrophages that Unlock Barriers to Tumor Immunotherapy

Michele De Palma, Douglas Hanahan, George Coukos

Tumor-infiltrating macrophages typically promote angiogenesis while suppressing antitumoral T cell responses. In this issue of Cancer Cell, Klug and colleagues report that clinically-feasible, low-dose irradiation redirects macrophage differentiation from ...

Identification of MAGI1 as a tumor-suppressor protein induced by cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors in colorectal cancer cells

Cyclooxyganase-2 (COX-2), a rate-limiting enzyme in the prostaglandin synthesis pathway, is overexpressed in many cancers and contributes to cancer progression through tumor cell-autonomous and paracrine effects. Regular use of non-steroidal anti-inflammat ...

Partners in crime: VEGF and IL-4 conscript tumour-promoting macrophages

Michele De Palma

Tumour-associated macrophages (TAMs) foster tumour progression by several mechanisms, including the promotion of angiogenesis, tissue remodelling, and immunosuppression. Such pro-tumoural activities are thought to be executed by TAM subtypes that harbour f ...
