Long Covid, and trying myriad solutions, Professor Andrew Shaw's approach in collaboration with Dr Steve Allder at @RecognitionHealth, has given me by far and away the biggest boost to my health. Since plugging my ‘antibody gap’ I’ve seen a dramatic decrease in brain fog,
migraines and a very big increase in gut health. It’s still relatively early days, but after 3 long years I feel more confident than I ever have done that my symptoms will continue to improve until I reach full recovery.”

The article notes Median OS for 232 patients with nGBM on DCVax = 19.3M from randomization (22.4M from surgery) vs 16.5M from controls; Survival at 48 M = 15.7% vs 9.9%; mOS at 60M, 13.0M vs 5.7%. Survival for 64 patients with rGBM =13.2M vs. 7.8 M, controls. At 24M, 20.7 vs 9.6%
At 30M, survival was 11.1 vs 5.1% (controls). The study is deemed important because: i) addition of DCVax to SOC resulted in clinically meaningful and statistically significant extension of survival compared to matched, contemporaneous, external controls receiving SOC alone.
The science of #immunotherapy can cure a patient's otherwise incurable cancer.
But sometimes immunotherapy fails completely
Shockingly, we hardly know why.
A meta-analysis of #Genomics & #Transcriptomics in >1,000 immunotherapy-treated patients aims to better understand why🧵

This 2021 @CellCellPress paper is one of the best #DataScience #Bioinformatics resources out there for understanding the genetic determinants of response to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs).
cell.com/cell/fulltext/…
cell.com/cell/fulltext/…
Some context:
PD-1 & PD-L1 inhibitors are examples of ICIs.
ICI is a type of immunotherapy that un-blocks the immune system & allows it to mount attacks🤺
It does it by inhibiting checkpoints (s.a. PD-1 & PD-L1): proteins that keep the immune system from attacking its own self

First, some context.
The genomics single cell field has started out 1-2 decades ago with a huge promise:
"Find the missing link between genes, diseases and therapies. This will bring completely novel therapeutics to the market & cure disease."

The underlying logic is straigtforward:
1. the cell is the main unit of living organisms
⬇️
2. cells break down in disease
⬇️
3. understanding cells helps understand how & why they break

4. this helps with engineering new therapeutics

@ashkanshahbandi was interested in examining why some BC have residual disease after chemo Rx that persists. These tumors tend to be p53 wild type and tend to undergo cell cycle arrest/senescence rather than cell death #chemotherapy #residualdisease
Looking at immune regulatory pathways he found PD-L1 and CD80 were both highly induced in tumors from chemotherapy treated mice. By RNA, many checkpoints were induced in senescent human BC and mouse mammary tumors after chemo (Fig.1)

A. The context ✍️ of this work:
Most cancerous lesions have mutations in the 🧬of their cells.
Cancer cells (literally) display small pieces of cellular mutated proteins (called peptides) on their surface.
These peptides, called neoantigens, are important therapeutic targets.

#Tweetorial #Oncology #Cancer #Diagnosis #TNBC #Immunotherapy #PDL1
TNBC is a challenging disease to treat due to its aggressive behavior, heterogeneity, and the lack of universal actionable targets. mTNBC is commonly diagnosed at a younger age than other BC subtypes and its prognosis is poor, with a median survival of <2 years.
Advanced TNBC can result from recurrence after treatment in the early-stage disease setting, or it may be diagnosed at initial (de novo) presentation

Thread below [1/30]
In 2017, we reported in @Nature here -> nature.com/articles/natur… -> that primary tumors of long-term survivors of #PDAC had ~12x more activated CD8 T cells vs. short-term survivors. Now, others had reported this before - but we wanted to know:
“What are the antigens?”
“What are the antigens?”
Excited to share that our @NatureBiotech paper with Aviv Regev on Multicellular Programs (MCPs) is now out with a fully automated data-driven method to identify MCPs from #singlecell or spatial data #behindthepaper: go.nature.com/3iQ8fgW nature.com/articles/s4158… (1/19)
Gene programs are often studied within a cell, with each cell considered an “independent entity”. However, cells from the same niche/tissue/organism are not independent, but share external signals, genetic background/lineage, and can directly impact one another. (2/19)
Here we define “Multicellular Programs (MCPs)” as different sets of genes working in concert across different cell types. (3/19)

A thread...
(2/28) T cell therapies have shown the potential to cure patients from #cancer – but even in B cell cancers, relapses outnumber cures… One of the problems is limited T cell persistence. #celltherapy #CARTcell
(3/28) We wanted to find new genes (including genes never expressed in T cells) that could improve T cell persistence. Now, the question was: should we use #crispr activation or directly deliver target genes on a #lentivirus?
Delighted to share our paper, biorxiv.org/content/10.110… . Huge thanks to @CoukosGeorge for the opportunity as well as all our collaborators, @carmonation. A summary of our main findings:
Orthogonal combinatorial T-cell engineering overcomes homeostatic barriers to engraftment, reprograms TILs as well as the tumor microenvironment and mediates solid tumor regression in the absence of preconditioning or systemic cytokine support @CoukosGeorge, @carmonation
As a proof of principle of orthogonal T-cell engineering, here we successfully combined two main secreted components: an IL-2 variant binding to b/g but not IL-2Ra (promote T-cell stemness), together with the pro-inflammatory alarmin IL-33.

#NSCLC proteome subtypes are driven by histology, growth pattern, immune cell infiltration, driver mutations, oncogenic pathways, and cell types, suggesting potential clinical value for treatment stratification and #PrecisionMedicine. 2/6
Unexpectedly, #proteogenomics analysis revealed that high neoantigen burden was linked to global hypomethylation, and that complex neoantigens mapping to genomic regions normally not active in lung were produced in immune-cold subtypes. 3/6

Why does it matter? ICPi-AKI can lead to:

*Irreversible loss of kidney function
*Prolonged courses of immunosuppression (2/11)
*Discontinuation of ICPi therapy
*Irreversible loss of kidney function
*Prolonged courses of immunosuppression (2/11)
We conducted a multicenter study of 429 patients with ICPi-AKI from 30 sites across 10 countries, along with 429 control patients who received ICPis contemporaneously but did not develop ICPi-AKI. This is the largest study to date on ICPi-AKI (3/11)
