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.

Hitchhiking on Controlled-Release Drug Delivery Systems: Opportunities and Challenges for Cancer Vaccines.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors outline the recent progress in cancer vaccines including subunit vaccines, genetic vaccines, dendritic cell-based vaccines, tumor cell based vaccines and in situ vaccines and highlight the efforts and challenges of controlled or sustained release drug delivery systems (e.g., microparticles, scaffolds, injectable gels, and microneedles) in ameliorating the safety, effectiveness and operability of cancer vaccines.

Atypical immunometabolism and metabolic reprogramming in liver cancer: Deciphering the role of gut microbiome.

TL;DR: This chapter discusses mechanistic insights on atypical immunometabolism and metabolic reprogramming in HCC, including the examination of tumor-associated macrophages and neutrophils, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and the Warburg effect, rewiring of the tricarboxylic acid cycle, and glutamine addiction.

Immunotherapeutic Transport Oncophysics: Space, Time, and Immune Activation in Cancer.

TL;DR: This review discusses three main aspects that determine the outcome of an immunotherapy-based treatment from a physical point of view; space, the distribution of cancer and immune cells within tumor masses, time, the temporal dynamic of immune response against tumors, and activity, the ability of immune cell populations to suppress 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.
