#immunecheckpointblockade

" Instead, #Hepatoblastoma #tumors contain a large suppressive #myeloid compartment which poses opportunities for targeting. Specifically, therapeutic antibodies
targeting the tumor antigen #GPC3 to induce ADCP by #macrophages, in combination with myeloid
#ImmuneCheckpointBlockade (#CD47/SIRPa, or VISTA) could be a feasible strategy to explore in future studies"

Check out some #CoolScienceImages from a Nature Communications study on #fluorescencefriday. Nikolos et al. showed that an iDAMP blockade approach synergizes with #chemotherapy and sensitizes #bladdercancer to #immunotherapy in #preclinicalmodels.

#ImmuneCheckpointBlockade

Cool paper dissecting the mechanism of action of #immunecheckpointblockade, anti-CTLA-4, and showing the important role of #myeloidcells #macrophages

"Anti-CTLA-4 antibodies drive myeloid activation and reprogram the tumor microenvironment through FcγR engagement and type I interferon signaling"
