MSK Research Highlights, December 29, 2023

New MSK research developed CAR T cells that target two acute myeloid leukemia-specific antigens; shed new light on a genetic element called LINE-1, opening the door to new treatments; identified a key regulator of blood stem cell fate; and found an immunotherapy technique using antibodies that target CD47 shows promise in mice.

Location, Location, Location: The Hidden Power of Intracellular Neighborhoods

New findings provide details about the hidden organization of the cytoplasm, showing it makes a big difference where in that cellular broth that messenger RNA (mRNA) get translated into proteins. The findings hold promise for increasing or altering the production of proteins in mRNA vaccines and therapies.

Lung Cancer Cells’ ‘Memories’ Suggest New Strategy For Improving Treatment

Research from the lab of cancer biologist Tuomas Tammela shows that some lung cancer cells retain a “memory” of the healthy cell where they came from — one that might be exploited to make an emerging type of lung cancer treatment called KRAS inhibition more effective.

MSK Research Highlights, October 31, 2023

New MSK research identifies a promising immunotherapy target for acute myeloid leukemia; decodes genetic differences in tumors from patients with African ancestry; and finds a virtual mind-body fitness program reduced hospitalizations for those in active cancer treatment. A clinical trial led by MSK also resulted in the approval of a new combination therapy for non-small cell lung cancer.
