Amphiphile (AMP)-modification of peptide antigens and molecular adjuvants has been previously demonstrated to enhance lymphatic delivery and retention, resulting in potent expansion of cognate endogenous T-cell responses.
Neutrophils are the immune system’s most abundant effector cells, which play a defensive role of host cells and clear pathogens by phagocytosis, degranulation and neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) release.
Radiation therapy resistance (radioresistance) is a key contributor to the failure of rectal cancer treatment, with immunosuppression playing a significant role here.

Guard Therapeutics AB has presented progress within the company’s preclinical development platform, the GTX platform, aimed at developing new peptides based on the endogenous protein α-1-microglobulin.
Perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PNDs) refer to a variety of cognitive abnormalities mainly experienced by elderly patients after anesthesia procedures and include cognitive impairment and disorientation linked to oxidative stress and neuroinflammation. Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), a neurotrophic hormone that regulates microglia-mediated neuroinflammation, may represent a therapeutic target in this context.
Researchers from University of Lausanne have published data from a study that aimed to analyze the key components of the brain tumor vasculature in order to better understand the mechanisms of brain metastasis (BrM).
