Mashup Score: 1Therapeutic targeting of regulatory T cells in cancer - 1 year(s) ago
The success of immunotherapy in oncology underscores the vital role of the immune system in cancer development. Regulatory T cells (Tregs) maintain a fine balance between autoimmunity and immune suppression. They have multiple roles in the tumor microenvironment (TME) but act particularly in suppressing T cell activation. This review focuses on the detrimental and sometimes beneficial roles of…

Mashup Score: 5From gatekeepers to providers: regulation of immune functions by cancer-associated fibroblasts - 1 year(s) ago
Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are one of the major cell components in the tumor stroma (see Glossary) of solid cancers, playing a key role within the tumor microenvironment (TME) [1,2]. CAFs are heterogeneous and comprise subsets that differ from each other in phenotype, function, transcriptional program, and cell of origin [3–10] (Box 1).

Mashup Score: 0T follicular helper cells in cancer - 1 year(s) ago
Tfh cells (see Glossary and Box 1) are the specialized CD4+ T cell subset that provides essential help to B lymphocytes for effective antibody responses against various pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, fungi, and helminths [1,2]. These functions of Tfh cells are also being utilized during vaccination through their ability to drive immunoglobulin class-switching and affinity maturation in…

Mashup Score: 0Spatial landscape of the tumor immune microenvironment - 1 year(s) ago
Two recent studies published in Nature by Karimi et al. and Sorin et al. applied multiplexed imaging mass cytometry (IMC) to characterize the single-cell tumor immune landscapes covering millions of cells in brain tumors and lung adenocarcinomas (LUAD). They identified specific cell subtypes and cell–cell interactions that correlate with distinct clinical outcomes, thus providing valuable…

Mashup Score: 1Dynamic immune signatures as biomarkers for irAEs - 1 year(s) ago
Identifying predictive biomarkers of immune-related adverse events (irAEs) is crucial to maximize the benefits for patients with cancer treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). In a recent study published in Med, Nuñez et al. utilized multi-omics approaches and identified blood immune signatures that have the potential to predict the development of autoimmune toxicity.

Mashup Score: 0Clinical Development of BRAF plus MEK Inhibitor Combinations - 1 year(s) ago
Genomic profiling shows that many solid tumors are characterized by specific driver aberrations, and this has expanded the therapeutic options for many patients. The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway is a key cell signaling pathway involved in regulating cellular growth, proliferation, and survival. Driver mutations in the BRAF gene, a key player in the MAPK pathway, are described…

Mashup Score: 12Reprogramming of tissue metabolism during cancer metastasis - 1 year(s) ago
Metastasis, the major cause of death in cancer patients, is a multistep process involving metabolic and epigenetic rewiring in cancer cells (intrinsic) and the host tissue parenchyma (extrinsic), both at the primary and secondary sites of cancer spread [1,2]. From the days of the ‘seed and soil’ hypothesis of cancer metastasis, some studies have demonstrated early pathological changes in distant…

Mashup Score: 0Mining Public Databases for Precision Oncology - 1 year(s) ago
Millions of dollars have been spent on creating public databases. To date these data reside in isolated ‘silos’. Real-world realization of precision oncology, the right drug for the right patient at the right time, may be possible only if the right data come to the right clinic at the right time.

Mashup Score: 0
Gastrointestinal (GI) malignancies encompass a broad range of tumors with limited treatment options, particularly for advanced disease. With the development and implementation of next-generation sequencing (NGS) in routine practice, molecular-targeting therapies have been increasingly incorporated into the treatment paradigm for various cancers. Several drugs have achieved tissue-agnostic…
