The local microenvironment drives activation of neutrophils in human brain tumors...
Tumor-associated neutrophils are highly abundant in primary and metastatic brain tumors, have an immunosuppressive and pro-angiogenic phenotype, and are altered by secreted factors produced by a network of tumor-associated myeloid cells.

Mitophagy Dysfunction in Parkinson's Patients: Implications for CD8 Memory T...
New study in Science Immunology shows that individuals with Parkinson's disease exhibit decreased levels of CD8+ memory T cells and fail to generate memory T cells in response to COVID-19 vaccination. This underscores the critical importance of mitochondrial quality control in the formation of CD8+ memory T cells.

Most patients with Ovarian cancer do not benefit from immune checkpoint immunotherapy and thus require alternate clinical approaches. The team had previously shown that vaccination using whole tumor-pulsed dendritic cells amplifies neoantigens recognition in ovarian cancers.

Strengthening the efficacy of cellular immunotherapy against cancer: exploiting T...
Among the available immunotherapies, CAR-T cell therapy has demonstrated remarkable efficacy against certain blood cancers, albeit only in about half of patients. A major contributing factor to this limitation lies in the premature dysfunction of these artificially engineered immune cells, cultivated in laboratory conditions.

The tumor microenvironment governs T cell fate
Continuous exposure to harmful substances during long-lasting infections or cancer can lead to a weakened state in the immune cells that are supposed to fight against these threats. This weakened state is called "exhaustion." Interestingly, the processes causing this exhaustion seem to be similar in both infections and cancer, even though the conditions are different.
