- Anchoring of intratumorally administered cytokines to collagen safely potentiates systemic cancer immunotherapy
Collagen-localized cytokines potentiate disparate systemic cancer immunotherapies while minimizing toxicity in many tumor models.
- Pediatric patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia generate abundant and functional neoantigen-specific CD8+ T cell responses
Pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia elicits a broad, functional, antitumor T cell response, targeting multiple mutations.
- A T164S mutation in the dengue virus NS1 protein is associated with greater disease severity in mice
The T164S mutation in the NS1 protein of dengue virus increases disease severity in mice through complement activation.
- Arginine vasopressin receptor 1a is a therapeutic target for castration-resistant prostate cancer
Antagonism of arginine vasopressin receptor 1a inhibits growth of emergent, established, and bone metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.
- Brain-resident memory T cells generated early in life predispose to autoimmune disease in mice
Resolved brain virus infection early in life leaves persisting chemotactic cues that foster brain autoimmunity in adulthood.
Focus
- A decade of digital medicine innovation
The field of digital medicine has matured over the past decade, but validation will require careful randomized, controlled clinical trials.

About The Cover

ONLINE COVER Location, Location, Location. This image depicts the collagen-binding protein lumican (purple) and blood vessels (green) in a cross-section of a mouse melanoma. Momin et al. fused lumican to cytokines and combined these fusion proteins with several types of cancer immunotherapy. This approach localized the therapy to tumors and was effective in reducing tumor growth in multiple mouse models, while avoiding the side effects of systemic therapy.
