During the last decade, the stimulation of T-cell function by the blockage of immunosuppressive checkpoints has experienced an outstanding impact in the treatment of cancer. Development of the chimeric antigen receptor T-cell technology has also emerged as a powerful alternative for patients suffering from oncological processes, especially those affected by hematological neoplasms. Recent evidence suggest

Inflammaging, characterized by persistent chronic inflammation in older adults, has emerged as a critical factor linked to age-related diseases such as cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), metabolic disorders, and cognitive decline, which collectively contribute to the leading causes of death globally. Elevated levels of cytokines, chemokines, and others inflammatory mediators characterize inflammaging and serve as indicators of

Warburg Effect Reshapes Tumor Immunogenicity.

José A Enríquez , María Mittelbrunn

Tumor cells rewire their metabolism to fulfill the demands of highly proliferative cells. This changes cellular metabolism to adapt to fuel and oxygen availability for energy production and to increase the synthesis capacity of building blocks for cell division and growth. In addition, the metabolic shift modulates the immunogenicity of the tumor cells. Recently, Mahmood
