Metabolites Can Act Like Checkpoints

This paper made me think differently about T-cell metabolism because it argues that one small metabolite, phosphoenolpyruvate, can directly shape signaling and antitumor function.

When Tumor T Cells Run Out of Power

This paper helped define intratumoral T-cell dysfunction as a mitochondrial problem, not just an exhaustion-marker problem.

CAR-T Therapy Can Be Merged With Antibody-Drug Conjugates

Solid tumors have resisted both CAR-T therapy and antibody-drug conjugates for different reasons. This study collapses that divide, engineering CAR-T cells that deliver chemotherapy directly within the tumor microenvironment.

What It Means for a Living Drug to Last a Decade

This paper is one of the clearest demonstrations that long-term remission after CAR T therapy is not just about expansion. It is about persistence, cell state, and the kind of T cell that survives.

Velocity Receptors Push CAR T Cells Deeper Into Solid Tumors

This preprint treats one of solid-tumor CAR-T’s biggest problems as a movement problem, engineering “velocity receptors” that push T cells into a more migratory state and improve infiltration, tumor control, and survival in preclinical models.

Why Risankizumab Works Across Skin, Joint, and Gut Disease

This mini-review is less about a single experiment and more about building a translational map for risankizumab, tying IL-23 biology to dosing, pharmacokinetics, biomarkers, and pivotal efficacy data across psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and Crohn’s disease.

PD-1 Blockade Before Chemoradiation in dMMR Rectal Cancer

In a phase 2 study of mismatch repair-deficient locally advanced rectal cancer, single-agent dostarlimab produced a clinical complete response in every evaluable patient reported, with no patient proceeding to chemoradiotherapy or surgery during the follow-up window.

When Cancer Starves the Immune System

This paper argues that tumors do not only evade immunity with checkpoints and suppressive ligands. They may also win by taking the fuel first.

Metabolic Fitness as a Limiting Factor in CAR-NK Therapy

Why do CAR-NK therapies work… until they don’t? This post looks at a paper by the Rezvani Lab that argues relapse isn’t just the tumor getting smarter, but immune cells slowly running out of energy.
