A Novel Strategy to Improve Peptide Based Cancer Vaccines through Molecular Mimicry

Cancer remains a leading cause of mortality worldwide. The therapeutic options to treat cancer are often limited, which reduces the chance to successfully treat patients. To tackle this health problem, interventions are developed such as immunotherapies to target or influence the immune system. For example, cancer vaccines that are potentially able to initiate anti-tumour responses.

A cellular railway in motion

Cilia are highly specialised structures that belong to the list of ancestral eukaryotic compartments together with nuclei and mitochondria. They protrude from the surface of nearly all human cells, acting as cellular antennae, sometimes more than one on each cell. Some cilia are involved in motility where they are found in specialised epithelia to facilitate…
