A molecular “snapshot” of a protein can be critical to understanding its function. Scientists at Stanford and NYU have published and investigated a new structure of the protein LAG-3 which could enable the development of new cancer treatments.
The change in overall survival (OS) among advanced melanoma patients diagnosed between 2013 and 2021.
In the treatment of aggressive lymphomas and blood cancer (leukaemia), so-called chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR T cells) are increasingly being used.
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), such as anti-CTLA-4 antibodies, are widely used in cancer immunotherapy. CTLA-4 blockers such as Yervoy (ipilimumab, Bristol Myers Squibb Co.) stimulate antitumoral immune responses, but may also induce toxicity, such as colitis, a common immune-related adverse event that can lead to treatment discontinuation.
