Engineering macrophage-targeted trispecific immune cell engagers for tumor immunotherapy
Nature Biotechnology, Published online: 30 March 2026; doi:10.1038/s41587-026-03104-5
Immune cell engagers (ICEs) have emerged as a promising strategy for cancer immunotherapy, but their efficacy in solid tumors remains limited, partly as a result of the difficulty of coordinating activating and inhibitory signals within the same immune cell. Here, we report a logic-gated cis-targeting strategy that enables ICEs to coordinate activating and inhibitory signals within macrophages, thereby enhancing tumor clearance in mouse models of solid cancers.

Updated June 11, 2026
WASHINGTON — A pledge to “Make America Healthy Again” earned Robert F. Kennedy Jr. his job atop U.S. health agencies a year and some change ago. He’s now had the opportunity to turn his words into action, with mixed results.

RFK Jr. claims his calendar is publicly available. We’ve been trying to get it for a year
WASHINGTON — Health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Wednesday pointed to his “publicly available calendar” as an example of his commitment to transparency and to beat back unfavorable reporting.
But no such calendar, detailing who Kennedy meets with or how he spends his time, has been released by the administration. STAT has been asking the Department of Health and Human Services for Kennedy’s calendar for more than a year, via Freedom of Information Act requests and emails to the press office.
