Advances in immunotherapy the last decade have revolutionized treatment paradigms across multiple cancer diagnoses. However, only a minority of patients derive durable benefit and progress with traditional approaches, such as vaccines, remains unsatisfactory. A key to overcoming these barriers resides deeper understanding tumor antigen presentation complex dynamic heterogeneity tumor-infiltrating antigen-presenting cells (APCs). Reminiscent ‘second touch' hypothesis proposed by Klaus Ley for...

Hyperglycaemia and increased circulating saturated fatty acids are key metabolic features of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) that contribute to diabetic retinopathy pathogenesis. Contrarily, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) has been shown improve or prevent T2DM. This study aimed at investigating the effect TRAIL in an vitro model human retinal pigment epithelium: ARPE-19 cell line, treated with palmitic acid (PA) presence high glucose concentration. PA...
