Their pioneering work in understanding peripheral tolerance and regulators of the immune system led to a huge body of work that contributed to the understanding of diseases caused by breakdown of immune tolerance and facilitated drug developments that target immune regulation.

#HotOffThePress New Publication Alert! SIgN Group Leader, Dr Tay Rong En and his team show in new research that inhibition of serotonin receptor 5-HT2A could potentiate anti-tumor T cell activity in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)! 1/6

[Singapore Immunology Network @astar_SIgN]

As 5-HT2A inhibitor drugs are available as oral tablets, they are more convenient for patients as compared to immunotherapies that typically require intravenous infusion at specialised facilities. The team hopes that this work will contribute to accessible therapties for HCC. 5/6
