CAR-T immunotherapy has been used to treat Hodgkin lymphoma with remarkable success for the first time, according to the results of an early phase clinical trial.
Jared Weiss, MD, and Ben Vincent, MD, are leading an upcoming clinical trial hoping to cure lung and head and neck squamous cell carcinomas with their PANDA-VAC therapy.
An investigational therapy for Hodgkin lymphoma received a Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Yuliya Pylayeva-Gupta, PhD and Paul Dayton, PhD, are studying using engineered microbubbles and ultrasound imaging to help fight pancreatic cancer.
UNC Lineberger researchers led by Yuliya Pylayeva-Gupta, PhD, have identified the culprit that keeps cancer-killing immune cells from reaching pancreatic cancer tumors.
Tumors can create a hostile environment for cancer-fighting immune cells. In a new study, University of North Carolina Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center researchers have developed a method for engineering immune cells to improve their survival and proliferation, even within a hostile tumor. Researchers led by UNC Lineberger’s Gianpietro Dotti, MD, report in the journal Nature … Continued
A discovery by University of North Carolina Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center researchers could allow scientists to fine-tune genetically engineered immune cells to heighten their killing power against tumors or to decrease their activity level in the case of severe side effects. In a study published in Cancer Cell, researchers led by UNC Lineberger’s Gianpietro Dotti, … Continued
Yuliya Pylayeva-Gupta, PhD, and Gaorav Gupta, MD, PhD, use their natural curiosity and drive to tackle cancer through their research at UNC Lineberger.
The U.S. Army has awarded a $559,799 grant to University of North Carolina Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center researcher Yuliya Pylayeva-Gupta, PhD, to investigate the role of the immune system in promoting pancreatic cancer’s spread. Pancreatic cancer is the third leading cause of cancer death in the United States, and it is one of the deadliest … Continued
