Flow-based human tissue models show stronger T-cell activity than static cultures, with blinatumomab inducing significant B-cell killing and cytokine release. Sartorius has introduced a 96-well multi-organ tox plate for drug toxicity testing, while in vitro systems are increasingly used as new approach methodologies to complement animal models.

A study of 450 mTNBC patients in community practices found high biomarker testing rates and encouraging outcomes across racial groups, with Hispanic patients showing the longest survival. However, Black women of West African ancestry face the highest TNBC incidence and greater neuropathy from paclitaxel, making docetaxel a potential alternative. Social determinants like neighborhood deprivation and allostatic load are also linked to TNBC risk.

Research reveals how ectopic NMDA receptor expression in triple-negative breast cancer triggers autoimmune disease through antibody maturation. The study shows NMDAR expression recruits B cells and drives affinity maturation, producing antibodies that can cross the blood-brain barrier and cause neurological symptoms while constraining tumor growth.

Recent developments in breast cancer treatment include new clinical trials for advanced disease, findings on CDK4/6 inhibitor sequencing, and discovery of genetic markers explaining drug resistance in HER2-positive breast cancer.
Mar 19, 2026
New antibody-based approaches demonstrate clinical benefits across multiple cancer types, including improved survival in triple-negative breast cancer, enhanced tumor detection via PET imaging, and activity in relapsed mantle cell lymphoma.

New research highlights circulating tumor DNA as a prognostic tool in early-stage triple-negative breast cancer, while leronlimab demonstrates long-term survival signals in heavily pretreated metastatic patients through CCR5 receptor blockade.
Feb 18, 2026
Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center developed a computational approach using tumor-specific total mRNA expression (TmS) that outperformed current methods for predicting chemotherapy response in triple-negative breast cancer patients.

A first-in-human trial shows individualized neoantigen mRNA vaccines generated multi-year T cell responses in early-stage TNBC patients, with 82.9% of targeted mutations eliciting measurable immune activation not detectable before vaccination.
Feb 23, 2026
Two clinical trials demonstrate efficacy of talimogene laherparepvec (T-VEC) oncolytic virus therapy in HER2-negative breast cancer and nonmelanoma skin cancers, with favorable safety profiles and durable responses in subset of patients.
