Exosomes derived from γδ-T cells synergized with radiotherapy can control nasopharyngeal carcinoma

A research team at LKS Faculty of Medicine, The University of Hong Kong discovered that exosomes derived from γδ-T cells (γδ-T-Exos) synergised with radiotherapy can control nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) by overcoming the radioresistance of NPC cancer stem cells (CSCs) and preserve their tumor-killing and T cell-promoting activities in the immunosuppressive NPC microenvironment.

3rd dose of COVID mRNA vaccine expands memory and capacity of immune system to combat Omicron

Researchers from the United States have now found that the immune recall induced by a two-dose primary series of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccination after an initial natural infection highly improves the longevity of the antibodies as well as induces an enhanced breadth of protection across the SARS-CoV-2 variants.
