TLDR
This review will examine the efficacy, toxicities, and clinical development of checkpoint blocking antibodies, including agents already approved by the US Food and Drug Administration or in development (anti‐PD‐1, PD‐L1) and future studies will likely uncover new promising immunologic checkpoints to target alone or in combination with other immunotherapeutic approaches, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and small molecules.

T-cell exhaustion in the tumor microenvironment

TL;DR: The updated understanding on the exhausted T cells in cancer and their potential regulatory mechanisms are overviewed and current therapeutic interventions targeting exhausted T Cells in clinical trials are discussed.

Patterns of metastasis in colon and rectal cancer

TL;DR: Assessment of metastatic spread in colon and rectal cancers using a population based approach revealed Thoracic metastases are almost as common as liver metastases in rectal cancer patients with a low stage at diagnosis and should help clinicians to identify patients in need for extra surveillance.

Core-shell nanoscale coordination polymers combine chemotherapy and photodynamic therapy to potentiate checkpoint blockade cancer immunotherapy

TL;DR: The use of immunogenic nanoparticles to augment the antitumour efficacy of PD-L1 antibody-mediated cancer immunotherapy mediates regression of both light-irradiated primary tumours and non-IRradiated distant tumours by inducing a strong tumour-specific immune response.

Multiplex Genome-Edited T-cell Manufacturing Platform for “Off-the-Shelf” Adoptive T-cell Immunotherapies

TL;DR: The applicability of TALEN-mediated genome editing to a scalable process enables the manufacturing of third-party CAR T-cell immunotherapies against arbitrary targets and can therefore be used in an "off-the-shelf" manner akin to other biologic immunopharmaceuticals.

Collateral Damage: Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Induced With Checkpoint Inhibitors

TL;DR: It is concluded that autoimmune, insulin-dependent diabetes occurs in close to 1% of patients treated with anti–PD-1 or –PD-L1 CPIs, and the dominance of HLA-DR4 suggests an opportunity to identify those at highest risk of these complications and to discover insights into the mechanisms of this adverse event.

Tumor-associated B7-H1 promotes T-cell apoptosis: a potential mechanism of immune evasion

TL;DR: It is reported here that, except for cells of the macrophage lineage, normal human tissues do not express B7-H1 and the findings have implications for the design of T cell–based cancer immunotherapy.
