The efficacy of cancer immunotherapy largely depends on the tumor microenvironment, especially the tumor immune microenvironment. Emerging studies have claimed that microbes reside within tumor cells and immune cells, suggesting that these microbes can ...

miRNAs as Influencers of Cell-Cell Communication in Tumor Microenvironment [PDF]
microRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that regulate gene expression at the posttranscriptional level, inducing the degradation of the target mRNA or translational repression.

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 ...

Acetylcholine From Tuft Cells: The Updated Insights Beyond Its Immune and Chemosensory Functions
Tuft cells, rare solitary chemosensory cells, are distributed in mucosal epithelium throughout mammalian organs. Their nomenclatures are various in different organs and may be confused with other similar cells.

Immune aspects of the breast tumor microenvironment [PDF]
The immune response in the tumor microenvironment is complex, consisting of cells from both the adaptive and innate immune systems. The phenotype and function of these cells are dictated by cytokines present in the microenvironment, as well as by the interactions of these cells with the tumor cells and each other.

Activated lymphocyte recruitment into the tumor microenvironment following preoperative sipuleucel-T for localized prostate cancer. [PDF]
BackgroundSipuleucel-T is a US Food and Drug Administration-approved immunotherapy for asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Its mechanism of action is not fully understood.

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.

Organoid Modeling of the Tumor Immune Microenvironment [PDF]
In vitro cancer cultures, including three-dimensional organoids, typically contain exclusively neoplastic epithelium but require artificial reconstitution to recapitulate the tumor microenvironment (TME). The co-culture of primary tumor epithelia with endogenous, syngeneic tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) as a cohesive unit has been particularly ...

Metabolites and Immune Response in Tumor Microenvironments
The remodeled cancer cell metabolism affects the tumor microenvironment and promotes an immunosuppressive state by changing the levels of macro- and micronutrients and by releasing hormones and cytokines that recruit immunosuppressive immune cells.

Characterization of the Neuroendocrine Tumor Immune Microenvironment [PDF]
Objectives The immune environment and the potential for neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) to respond to immune checkpoint inhibitors remain largely unexplored. We assessed immune checkpoint marker expression, lymphocytic infiltrate, and associated mutational profiles in a cohort of small intestine and pancreatic NETs.
