A peer-reviewed study published in the journal Theranostics reveals that a secreted, truncated form of the Clever-1 receptor (sClever-1) acts as an immunosuppressive mediator in cancer, impairing T-cell responses and contributing to resistance to anti-programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) immunotherapies. Researchers found that high levels of sClever-1 were associated with

Researchers from Chung-Ang University have developed a novel core/shell nanocarrier that targets cancer cells by combining chemotherapy and immunotherapy, resulting in enhanced therapeutic outcomes. The nanocarrier, composed of M1 macrophage-derived vesicles coated with micelles loaded with 6-bromoindirubin-3 '-oxime (6BIO), was designed to overcome the limitations of conventional chemotherapy
