Patient-derived in vitro and in vivo model systems discovered novel gene fusion, LAMTOR1-AKT1, as a tumorigenic driver in pediatric epithelioid neoplasm.
Integration of genetic and chemical screens identified a synthetic lethal relationship between SMARCB1-deficient cancers and the ubiquitin-proteasome system.
Concurrent measurement of single cell expression in tumor cells and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes revealed novel biological insights of the tumor microenvironment; provides basis for developing novel therapeutic targets in lymphoma.
CTD2 scientists at the University of California, San Francisco showed that α-PD-1/α-TGFβ combinatorial therapy could be a potential treatment option for squamous cell carcinomas with high mutational load and form the basis for the clinical trial NCT02947165.
Review article discusses the mechanisms of resistance developed to cancer therapy and advantages of using intermittent therapies to maintain a balance between therapy-sensitive and therapy-resistant populations.
Researchers developed PTMsigDB, a database of post-translational modifications, such as site-specific phosphorylation signatures of kinases, perturbations, and signaling pathways, curated from more than 2,500 publications.
Review on using human pluripotent stem cells derived natural killer cells and macrophages as a novel cell-based approach for cancer immunotherapy.
