Targeting Serotonin Transporter (SERT) for Cancer Immunotherapy (UCLA Case No. 2024-204)
UCLA researchers in the Department of Microbiology Immunology and Molecular Genetics have unveiled a novel therapeutic strategy utilizing SSRIs for solid cancer immunotherapy. BACKGROUND: Immunotherapy has become a highly effective method to combat cancer that enhances a patient’s immune system to attack tumors with high specificity. For instance,...

Personalized Tumor Vaccine and Use Thereof for Cancer Immunotherapy
Abstract: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) vastly improved the outcome of various advanced cancers; however, many are less likely to respond to single-agent ICI. Tumors with low T-cell infiltration are "immunologically cold" and less likely to respond to single-agent ICI therapy. This diminished response is presumably due to the lack of neoantigens...
