Diabetes Drug Shows Promise as an Anticancer Immunotherapeutic Agent

Treatment with the anti-diabetes drug sitagliptin of some types of cancer in a mouse model was found to increase the infiltration of T lymphocytes into tumors and, in combination with existing immunotherapies, eradicate the tumor.   More...

Hypoxia Factors Contribute to Maintenance of Regulatory T-cell Function

A team of cell biologists has identified a molecular pathway that maintains the stability and function of regulatory T-cells, which are components of the immune system that suppress immune responses of other cells and act as an important “self-check” built into the immune system to prevent excessive reactions.  More...
