    Tunable control of CAR T cell activity through tetracycline mediated disruption of protein–protein interaction

    Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells are a promising form of cancer immunotherapy, although they are often associated with severe toxicities. Here, we present a split-CAR design incorporating separate antig...

    Intratumoral IL-12 delivery empowers CAR-T cell immunotherapy in a pre-clinical model of glioblastoma

    Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and aggressive form of primary brain cancer, for which effective therapies are urgently needed. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-based immunotherapy represents a...

    Noninvasive diffusion magnetic resonance imaging of brain tumour cell size for the early detection of therapeutic response

    Cancer cells differ in size from those of their host tissue and are known to change in size during the processes of cell death. A noninvasive method for monitoring cell size would be highly advantageous as a p...

    Computational fluid dynamics with imaging of cleared tissue and of in vivo perfusion predicts drug uptake and treatment responses in tumours

    Understanding the uptake of a drug by diseased tissue, and the drug’s subsequent spatiotemporal distribution, are central factors in the development of effective targeted therapies. However, the interaction be...
