Neoantigen-directed T-cell therapy is a potentially powerful approach that harnesses a patient’s own immune system to fight cancer. One aspect of the collaboration focuses on screening and identification of therapeutic T-cell receptors (TCRs) to target a common shared neoantigen present in many cancer patients.

Last week DNA Science covered a setback in a clinical trial of a gene therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). It aims to correct the faulty instructions at the DNA level, straightforward, at least conceptually, because mutations are deletions, of part or all of the gene. That’s not the case for ALS.

One approach currently being explored involves stimulating innate immune response pathways. For example, the STimulator of InterferoN Genes (STING) pathway, which is known to play a critical role in innate immunity in response to viral and bacterial DNA, has also been shown to promote anti-tumor immune responses.
