immune response through the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and immunogenic …

The immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy has revolutionized the field of cancer
treatment, while low response rates and systemic toxicity limit its clinical outcomes. With the …

A major challenge facing tumor-antigen targeting therapies such as chimeric antigen
receptor (CAR)–T cells is the identification of suitable targets that are specifically and …

Transient molecules in the gastrointestinal tract such as nitric oxide and hydrogen sulfide
are key signals and mediators of inflammation. Owing to their highly reactive nature and …

The use of living bacteria either as therapeutic agents or drug carriers has shown great
potential in treating a multitude of intractable diseases. However, cells are often fragile to …

Adoptive cell therapy has emerged as a promising approach for cancer treatment. However,
the transfer of macrophages exhibits limited efficacy against solid tumors due to the dynamic …
