Advancing vaccines with extracellular vesicles
Dr Christopher Locher, Versatope Therapeutics, explains why bacterial extracellular vesicles are ideally suited for recombinant vaccines because target antigens can be expressed as fusion proteins and targeted to the lumen, membrane or surface of the vesicles. These nano-size vesicles represent a potentially safe and simple subunit vaccine delivery platform that…

T-cell redirecting bispecific antibodies: the next era of immune-based therapies for multiple myeloma?
While the introduction of novel immunotherapies to combat and treat cancer has advanced patient care greatly, ever more effective solutions continue to be required. Here, Dr Edmond Chan, Senior Director, EMEA Therapeutic Area Lead, Haemato-Oncology at Janssen Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA), explores how T-cell redirecting bispecific antibodies (TRBAs)…

RASA2 gene make T cells more resilient
New study finds that using CRISPR to block RASA2 gene makes T cells more resilient against cancer.
news
New method by which T cells can react to lower doses of antigens
Researchers have discovered a way to ignite T cells, potentially increasing the scope and success of T cell-based immunotherapy.
