Computationally Designed Proteins Mimic Antibody Immune Evasion in Viral Evolution

Academic Background The continuous mutation of SARS-CoV-2 has posed ongoing challenges to the efficacy of vaccines and antibody therapies. Traditional evaluation methods can only test against existing variants and fail to predict future immune escape mutations. To address this, Noor Youssef and colleagues developed the EVE-Vax (Evolutionary Variant...

Immune Evasion Through Mitochondrial Transfer in the Tumour Microenvironment

Mitochondrial Transfer and Immune Evasion Mechanisms in the Tumor Microenvironment Academic Background Tumor cells evade immune system attacks, particularly by T cells, through various mechanisms in the Tumor Microenvironment (TME). Although Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors (ICIs) have achieved significant progress in the treatment of various cancers, ...
