Progress in T Cell Cancer Immunotherapy: From Basic Understanding to Treatment Potential

AI simplified

Abstract

T cell function and quantity decline with age, impacting antitumor immunity.

  • Immunosenescence is characterized by reduced T cell functionality and numbers as individuals age.
  • T cell maturation mechanisms and their role in antitumor responses are examined.
  • Thymic involution may affect T cell diversity and cancer prognosis.
  • Recent advances in adoptive T cell therapies include tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte therapy, engineered T cell receptor therapy, and CAR-T therapy.
  • DNA-encoded library technologies are being utilized for high-throughput screening of TCR-antigen interactions, aiding in the discovery of new tumor antigens.
  • Strategies to enhance T cell therapy efficacy are being explored to address challenges within the solid tumor microenvironment.
