Dendritic cell-based immunotherapy

TLDR
What has been learned thus far about human DC biology from clinical studies are discussed, and how current approaches to apply DC vaccines in the clinic could be improved to enhance anti-tumor immunity are discussed.
Abstract
Immunotherapy using dendritic cell (DC)-based vaccination is an approved approach for harnessing the potential of a patient's own immune system to eliminate tumor cells in metastatic hormone-refractory cancer. Overall, although many DC vaccines have been tested in the clinic and proven to be immunogenic, and in some cases associated with clinical outcome, there remains no consensus on how to manufacture DC vaccines. In this review we will discuss what has been learned thus far about human DC biology from clinical studies, and how current approaches to apply DC vaccines in the clinic could be improved to enhance anti-tumor immunity.

Hyperthermia Targeting the Tumor Microenvironment Facilitates Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors.

TL;DR: A cluster of immune-related factors that not only make hyperthermia a treatment capable of defending against cancer but also make hyperThermia a reliable treatment that creates a type I-like tumor microenvironment in complementary for the enhancement of the ICI.

Engineered nanomaterials for synergistic photo-immunotherapy.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors investigated the latest strategies on engineering nanomaterials to enhance the anti-cancer efficiency of synergistic photo-immunotherapy, with emphasis on the activation of anti-tumor immune response, the reversal of tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment (TIME), the regulation of the interaction between immunosensressive cells and tumor cells, the infiltration of immune cells and improved efficiency of photo-IMmunotherapy-induced ICD.

Molecular regulation of dendritic cell development and function in homeostasis, inflammation, and cancer.

TL;DR: The importance of DCs in anti-tumor immunity and immune therapy is highlighted, with the overall goal of improving knowledge of tumor-associated factors and intrinsic DC signaling cascades that influence DC function in cancer.

Immunobiology of Dendritic Cells

TL;DR: Dendritic cells are antigen-presenting cells with a unique ability to induce primary immune responses and may be important for the induction of immunological tolerance, as well as for the regulation of the type of T cell-mediated immune response.

Neoantigens in cancer immunotherapy

TL;DR: Observations indicate that neoantigen load may form a biomarker in cancer immunotherapy and provide an incentive for the development of novel therapeutic approaches that selectively enhance T cell reactivity against this class of antigens.
