RGMb-deficient T cells for overcoming resistance to immune checkpoint blockade

Immune checkpoint blockade therapies targeting PD-1 or PD-L1 have been approved for more than 25 different tumors. However, many patients do not respond to PD-1/PD-L1 checkpoint blockade. The Sharpe lab at Harvard Medical School has identified that…

PD-L2 modulated dendritic cells for cancer immunotherapy

Immune checkpoint blockade therapies targeting PD-1 or PD-L1 have been approved for more than 25 different tumors. However, many patients do not respond to PD-1/PD-L1 checkpoint blockade. The Sharpe lab has identified that dendritic cells (DCs) with…

Inhibition of STAG1 using ASOs for treatment of STAG2-deficient cancers

The cohesin complex is one of the most frequently mutated protein complexes in cancer. Cohesin mutations are associated with poor survival and there are no therapies that selectively target cohesin-mutant cancers. STAG2 is the most frequently…

Regeneration of Skin Tissue

The amazing regenerative capability of fetal skin has been known for decades. While postnatal skin heals through fibrosis (scar formation) and only the epidermis can be restored, fetal skin has enormous regenerative capability and heals without scar…

Waging a War on Hyperpigmentation

Pigmentation is highly heritable, as genetic factors modulate the amount and distribution of melanin to the skin, hair, and eyes. However, endocrine factors associated with stress, pregnancy, and aging often induce temporary or permanent changes in…

More Hair Here, Less Hair There

Although hair loss is common, it is often considered an undesirable outcome. Another popular opinion is that body hair can be just as unpleasant. Hair growth undergoes a cycle of rest and growth, where hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs) either remain…
