Next generation of immune checkpoint therapy in cancer: new developments and challenges

TL;DR: A comprehensive review of immune checkpoint pathways involved in cancer immunotherapy is provided, and their mechanisms and the therapeutic interventions currently under investigation in phase I/II clinical trials are discussed.

Engagement of MHC class I by the inhibitory receptor LILRB1 suppresses macrophages and is a target of cancer immunotherapy

TL;DR: A central role is found for major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I in controlling the phagocytic function of macrophages in cancer cells and a novel ‘don’t eat me’ system based on recognition of MHC class I by thephagocyte-expressed inhibitory molecule LILRB1 is identified.

Tumor microenvironment as a therapeutic target in cancer

TL;DR: Current progress in targeting the tumor microenvironment in both drug development and clinical trials is summarized and challenges are highlighted to achieve therapeutic efficacy and strategies to intervene in the pro-tumor microenvironment are discussed.

The role of pattern-recognition receptors in innate immunity: update on Toll-like receptors

TL;DR: Recent advances that have been made by research into the role of TLR biology in host defense and disease are described.

Protective and pathogenic functions of macrophage subsets

TL;DR: The four stages of orderly inflammation mediated by macrophages are discussed: recruitment to tissues; differentiation and activation in situ; conversion to suppressive cells; and restoration of tissue homeostasis.

The M1 and M2 paradigm of macrophage activation: time for reassessment.

TL;DR: How cytokines and pathogen signals influence macrophages' functional phenotypes and the evidence for M1 and M2 functions is assessed and a paradigm initially based on the role of a restricted set of selected ligands in the immune response is revisited.

Efficacy of B-cell-targeted therapy with rituximab in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

TL;DR: In patients with active rheumatoid arthritis despite methotrexate treatment, a single course of two infusions of rituximab, alone or in combination with either cyclophosphamide or continued methotRexate, provided significant improvement in disease symptoms at both weeks 24 and 48.

Role of CD47 as a marker of self on red blood cells.

TL;DR: It is shown that CD47 (integrin-associated protein) functions as a marker of self on murine red blood cells and may represent a potential pathway for the control of hemolytic anemia.
