2. 1. CAR T cells for Immunotherapy of Cancer

   Author : Tina Sarén; Magnus Essand; Martin Pule; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Chimeric antigen receptor CAR -T cells; Cancer immunotherapy; NAP; Tonic signaling; T cell exhaustion; B cell lymphoma; clinical trial; glioblastoma;

   Abstract : In recent years, immunotherapy has revolutionized cancer treatment by prolonging survival and even curing patients lacking other available therapies. Besides immune checkpoint inhibitors, one of the major advances is attributed to the success of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy in treating patients with B-cell malignancies.

4. 2. Cancer Immunotherapy : Oncolytic viruses and CAR-T cells

   Author : Jing Ma; Di Yu; Magnus Essand; Mia Phillipson; Mohanraj Ramachandran; Karl-Johan Malmberg; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cancer immunotherapy; Oncolytic viruses; chimeric antigen receptor CAR -T cells; Helicobacter pylori Neutrophil Activating Protein;

   Abstract : Various forms of cancer immunotherapy have developed rapidly with improved survival and quality of life for cancer patients. Cancer immunotherapy aims to educate the patient’s immune system to eliminate cancer cells, including immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), adoptive cell transfer (mostly T cells), oncolytic viruses (OVs) and cancer vaccines.

5. 3. CD19-targeting CAR T Cells for Treatment of B Cell Malignancies : From Bench to Bedside

   Author : Hannah Karlsson; Angelica Loskog; Karl-Johan Malmberg; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; chimeric antigen receptors; CAR T cells; T cell therapy; immunotherapy; CD19; Bcl-2 family inhibitors; B cell malignancies; Klinisk immunologi; Clinical Immunology;

   Abstract : Immunotherapy for cancer is a young research field progressing at high speed. The first chimera of an antibody and a signaling chain was designed by Zelig Eshhar and was later further developed to enhance existing T cell therapy by combining a single-chain fragment of an antibody with the CD3 zeta chain of the TCR complex.

6. 4. Cancer Immunotherapy : Evolving Oncolytic viruses and CAR T-cells

   Author : Mohanraj Ramachandran; Magnus Essand; Di Yu; Justyna Leja-Jarblad; Richard Vile; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Oncolytic virus; Adenovirus; Semliki Forest virus; Cancer immunology; Chimeric antigen receptor T-cells; Immunologi; Immunology; Oncology; Onkologi; Biology with specialization in Molecular Biotechnology; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylär bioteknik;

   Abstract : In the last decade cancer immunotherapy has taken huge strides forward from bench to bedside and being approved as drugs. Cancer immunotherapy harnesses the power of patient’s own immune system to fight cancer. READ MORE

7. 5. The Multiple Faces of Genetically-Modified T Cells : Potential Applications in Therapy

   Author : Victoria Hillerdal; Magnus Essand; Johanna Olweus; Uppsala universitet; []
