    A holistic view of cancerCancer Cell dedicates this special issue to…not (exclusively) the cancer cell. While understanding maligant cells will always be our foundation and guiding principle, we strongly believe that the most impactful cancer research is currently the one that provides a holistic, systems biology-oriented understanding of the tumor cell and its bidirectional interactions with a…

    • Optimal #antibody effectiveness depends on the level of affinity binding. For blocking antibodies, a high affinity may be most effective. However, for agonist antibodies, recent results suggest that intermediate affinity works best, for #immunotherapy. https://t.co/gvmj87o5ne https://t.co/4pyCY4WT0J

    Protein degraders constitute a new class of agents that eliminate, rather than just inhibit, their target proteins. These novel agents have recently entered testing in oncology trials, with initial data providing clinical proof of concept for the mechanism of action as well as the antitumour activity of heterobifunctional protein degraders. In this Review, the authors outline the progress in the…

    In a study recently in Nature, Galeano Niño et al. use spatial profiling and single-cell RNA sequencing to delineate the spatial organization of microbiota in cancer. Their findings demonstrate that tumor-associated microbiota coalesce in micro-niches where they may mediate immune and epithelial oncogenic roles.
