CTD2 scientists at UCSF used CRISPR interference approach to study gene-specific expression–phenotype relationships and expression level-dependent cell responses at single-cell resolution. This technique could be used in drug development, functional genomics, and identification of suppressor.
Scientists performed WGS, RNA and T-cell receptor sequencing, immunohistochemistry and reverse phase protein array profiling on pediatric and adult samples. Study indicated that genomic complexity causes immunosuppressive phenotype and provides opportunities for developing novel treatments.
Conversations on mutism: risk stratification for cerebellar mutism based on medulloblastoma subtype.
Risk stratification of medulloblastoma subtype could minimize the burden of cerebellar mutism syndrome burden on pediatric patients with posterior fossa tumors, a type of brain tumor located in or near the bottom of the skull.
Report on challenges and opportunities associated with translating basic science discoveries in glioblastoma discussed during the neuro-oncology community meeting in April 2019.
Stanford University used single-cell genomics to characterize heterogenous cell types and states in tumor microenvironment revealing changes in transcriptional states, regulatory networks, and intercellular communication between matched gastric tumor and normal tissue from same patients.
Human pluripotent stem cells-derived natural killer cells have improved antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity and could be used to treat refractory malignancies.
Scientists analyzed whole genomes of over 2500 tumors from 27 different cancer types and identify new components of cancer pathways that are altered by coding and non-coding mutations.
Phase II clinical trial with single-agent Akt inhibitor, MK2206, in recurrent platinum-resistant high-grade serous ovarian cancers with molecular aletarions in PI3K/AKT pathway is not effictive.
CTD2 scientists developed a high-throughput in vivo complementation screening platform that enabled discovery of driver mutations of PIK3CA in glioblastoma. These studies highlight that variant function is context specific.
Studies indicate that Syk kinase plays a role in the control of macrophage-mediated immune suppression and inhibition of anti-tumor immunity. SRX3207, a dual inhibitor of PI3K and Syk kinases, inhibits macrophages polarization and activates innate and adaptive antitumor immunity in vivo.
