Report Nature Cancer from Ben Creelan, MD et al describes resistance to #TIL (tumor infiltrating lymphocyte) therapy including loss of subclonal neoantigens targeted by TILs, loss of antigen-specific immune clones, and HLA LOH. nature.com/articles/s4301…

NK-based therapy is one step closer to the clinic! After spending the a good few months researching NK cells for my essay, it’s encouraging to see developments like this one 🙂 #NK #ADCC

Timely breakthrough while I am studying the IEI unit, gene therapy shines for IEIs beyond supportive care. But the key lies in scaling access to bespoke cures for many, if not all. nytimes.com/2025/05/15/hea… nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

Tackling my first scientific academic writing challenge was no small feat, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to contribute under the mentorship of the field’s most brilliant minds John Haanen & team 😊 Expanding TILs beyond melanoma cell.com/med/fulltext/S…

Good to see emerging strategies targeting BTK, MEK, and PI3K–AKT–mTOR pathways to mitigate toxicity & augment CAR-T cell stemness. Metabolic targeting is plausible over manipulating hematopoiesis, hopefully comes with less cytopenias and infections. nature.com/articles/s4157…

A pleasant surprise this weekend — this book was a post-date labour from the COVID era, but it’s finally been delivered at last! 😬 link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9…

T cells do the heavy lifting when it comes to the anti-tumor action of checkpoint immunotherapy. But do antibodies play a role too? That’s the question @yile_dai looked to answer in his thesis work, out today in nature! 🧵below nature.com/articles/s4158…
