Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is the leading cause of hepatocellular carcinoma and infections remain a substantial global health problem for which no curative therapy exists. As cytotoxic CD8+ T lymphocytes are the principal effectors of natural HBV resolution, there is considerable interest in discoverin...
Immunotherapies targeting cancer-specific neoantigens have revolutionized the treatment of cancer patients. Recent evidence suggests that epigenetic therapies synergize with immunotherapies, mediated bythe de-repression of endogenous retroviral element (ERV)-encoded promoters, and the initiation of ...
The DNAJB1-PRKACA fusion transcript is the oncogenic driver in fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma, a lethal disease lacking specific therapies. This study reports on the identification, characterization, and immunotherapeutic application of HLA-presented neoantigens specific for the DNAJB1-PRKAC...
Tumor associated macrophages (TAMs) are known to play a role in a multitude of processes that facilitate lung cancer growth, including the suppression of tumoricidal immune activation and the absorption of chemotherapeutics. Therefore, deciphering new therapies to reprogram TAMs towards an anti-tumo...
