• Evaluation of β-catenin inhibition of axitinib and nitazoxanide in human monocyte-derived dendritic cells 

      Azeem, Waqas; Bakke, Ragnhild Maukon; Gabriel, Benjamin; Appel, Silke; Øyan, Anne Margrete; Kalland, Karl-Henning (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Modulation of β-catenin signaling has attractive therapeutic potential in cancer immunotherapy. Several studies have found that β-catenin can mediate immune evasion in cancer and promote anti-inflammatory features of ...
    • GM-CSF, Flt3-L and IL-4 affect viability and function of conventional dendritic cell types 1 and 2 

      Lellahi, Seyed Mohammad; Azeem, Waqas; Hua, Yaping; Gabriel, Benjamin; Rye, Kristin Paulsen; Reikvam, Håkon; Kalland, Karl Henning (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023-01-12)
      Conventional type 1 dendritic cells (cDC1) and conventional type 2 dendritic cells (cDC2) have attracted increasing attention as alternatives to monocyte-derived dendritic cells (moDCs) in cancer immunotherapy. Use of cDCs ...
    • A phase I prospective, non-randomized trial of autologous dendritic cell-based cryoimmunotherapy in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer
