Evaluation of a tumor microenvironment-based prognostic score in primary operable colorectal cancer [PDF]
Purpose: The tumor microenvironment is recognized as an important determinant of progression and outcome in colorectal cancer. The aim of the present study was to evaluate a novel tumor microenvironment–based prognostic score, based on histopathologic ...

GM‐CSF enhances tumor invasion by elevated MMP‐2, ‐9, and ‐26 expression
Granulocyte–macrophage colony‐stimulating factor (GM‐CSF) promotes tumor progression in different tumor models in an autocrine and paracrine manner. However, at the same time GM‐CSF is used in cancer therapies to ameliorate neutropenia.

Anti-S100A4 Antibody Suppresses Metastasis Formation by Blocking Stroma Cell Invasion
The small Ca-binding protein, S100A4, has a well-established metastasis-promoting activity. Moreover, its expression is tightly correlated with poor prognosis in patients with numerous types of cancer.

Expanding the CRISPR/Cas genome-editing scope in Xenopus tropicalis
Background The true diploid frog, Xenopus tropicalis (X. tropicalis) is an excellent genetic model organism. To date, the CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome editing methods established in this species are mostly based on SpCas9 that requires the stringent NGG ...

Biomaterial-based ligand presentation to induce notch signaling in vitro [PDF]
T cell adoptive transfer is an important procedure in immunotherapy. In immunocompromised patients, T cells may need to be developed from stem cells, requiring the induction of Notch signaling events responsible for native T cell differentiation in the ...

Characterizing the immune microenvironment of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor by PD-L1 expression and presence of CD8+ tumor infiltrating lymphocytes. [PDF]
BackgroundMalignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) is an aggressive sarcoma with few treatment options. Tumor immune state has not been characterized in MPNST, and is important in determining response to immune checkpoint blockade.

BMAL1 Drives Cisplatin Resistance in Non‐Small Cell Lung Cancer Via Lactate‐MRP1 Signaling Pathway
Lung cancer, the leading cause of cancer‐related mortality, faces significant therapeutic challenges due to chemoresistance. While metabolic reprogramming and circadian disruptions are implicated in tumor progression, their interplay in driving ...
