Ultrasound-mediated blood-brain barrier modulation enhances T-cell access but requires immune activation for effective CNS immunity

Marco Gallus, Akane Yamamichi, Victor Andrés Arrieta, Takahide Nejo, Lan Phùng, Atsuro Saijo, Pavlina Chuntova, Jianwen Lu, Su Myat Phyu, Heather L. Benway, Aishi Zhao, Kaori Okada, Payal B. Watchmaker, Jeffrey Haegelin, Senthilnath Lakshmanachetty, , Hideho Okada

This study shows that ultrasound-mediated BBB modulation alone does not generate effective CNS immunity, but combining it with systemic immune activation enhances T-cell responses and improves immunotherapy efficacy.

Spike-in probe-enhanced single-cell RNA-seq reveals post-infusion transcriptomic remodeling of "prime-and-kill" synNotch-CAR-T cells

Takahide Nejo, Payal B. Watchmaker, Milos Simic, Akane Yamamichi, Senthilnath Lakshmanachetty, Aishi Zhao, Jianwen Lu, Marco Gallus, Heather L. Benway, Robert Zhu, Ricardo Almeida, Wendell A. Lim, Hideho Okada

This paper develops a spike-in probe-enhanced scRNA-seq method to track and profile synNotch-CAR-T cells in vivo, revealing tissue-specific activation and transcriptional states.

IRF8-driven reprogramming of the immune microenvironment enhances anti-tumor adaptive immunity and reduces immunosuppression in murine glioblastoma

Megan Montoya, S. A. Collins, Pavlina Chuntova, Trishna S. Patel, Takahide Nejo, Akane Yamamichi, Noriyuki Kasahara, Hideho Okada

This study shows that delivering IRF8 via retroviral vector reprograms myeloid cells in glioblastoma, enhancing anti-tumor immunity and reducing immunosuppression.
