Researchers at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine are part of an international team of scientists who identified mechanisms by which some multiple myelomas become resistant to initially effective T-cell therapies.
Mayo Clinic researchers have identified a specific immune cell that can be targeted to give a boost to standard immunotherapies for cancer. Two research teams, working collaboratively but using distinct approaches, found that “first-responder” immune cells known as myeloid cells can be manipulated to enhance the activity of tumor-killing T cells.
