Reeducating cells in the tumor microenvironment reverses some of the malignancy

Response to treatment in cancer cells: The abundance of the EGFR (top row) and HER2 (bottom row) receptors is reduced when the cells are exposed to triple therapy – Tagrisso, Erbitux and Herceptin (right column) and to the two antibodies, Erbitux and Herceptin (second from right column), but not when they are exposed to Tagrisso alone (second column from left) or to no therapy at all (left column)

From the Volcanic Crater to the Lab: A Lesson in Survival

Human lung cancer tissue under a microscope. The enzymes (yellow) that unmask the immune-activating molecules are found near the TREM2 receptors (red) of the tumor-assisting macrophages. This targeted unmasking can prevent damage to healthy tissues

Turning the Tumor’s Shield into a Sword

A bacterial cell (elongated shape in the center) inside a glioblastoma tumor cell, as seen through an electron microscope. The black dots within the bacterium are engineered antibodies carrying gold particles that bind specifically to a component found only in bacterial cell envelopes and not in human cells
