Simple method increases the efficacy of T cell therapy by cytokine conjugation

The recent years have seen a wave of adoptive cell therapies (ACTs), a type of immunotherapy in which T cells (T cell transfer therapy) and other immune cells are obtained from patients, activated and multiplied outside the body, and infused in larger numbers back into the blood circulation to help fight cancers.

Enzyme inhibition reduces cancer-related bone loss and the number of bone metastases

In our bones, specialized cells called osteoblasts are responsible for building up bone substance. A team of researchers led by scientists from the DKFZ-Hector Cancer Institute at the University Medical Center Mannheim and the University Medical Center Hamburg Eppendorf has now identified an enzyme that controls the activity of osteoblasts.
