Journal ArticleDOI

An Integrated Stress Response Regulates Amino Acid Metabolism and Resistance to Oxidative Stress

TL;DR: A signaling pathway initiated by eIF2alpha phosphorylation protects cells against metabolic consequences of ER oxidation by promoting the linked processes of amino acid sufficiency and resistance to oxidative stress.
Journal ArticleDOI

VSV strains with defects in their ability to shutdown innate immunity are potent systemic anti-cancer agents

TL;DR: Evidence is presented that the attenuated vesicular stomatitis strains, AV1 and AV2, embody all of the traits of an oncolytic virus, which will replicate preferentially in malignant cells, have the ability to treat disseminated metastases, and ultimately be cleared by the patient.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exploiting tumor-specific defects in the interferon pathway with a previously unknown oncolytic virus.

TL;DR: Vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), an enveloped, negative-sense RNA virus exquisitely sensitive to treatment with interferon, is used as a replication-competent oncolytic virus and a new strategy for the treatment of interferons non-responsive tumors is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Going viral with cancer immunotherapy

TL;DR: The ability to engineer OVs that express immune-stimulating 'cargo', the induction of immunogenic tumour cell death by OVs and the selective targeting of OVs to tumour beds suggests that they are the ideal reagents to enhance antitumour immune responses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vesicular stomatitis virus: re-inventing the bullet

TL;DR: Strains of VSV that induce or direct the production of interferon are superior to wild-type strains of the virus for inducing oncolysis and might also make better vaccine vectors.
