Cross-domain feature disentanglement for interpretable modeling of tumor microenvironment impact on drug response [PDF]
High-throughput screening technology has facilitated the generation of large-scale drug responses across hundreds of cancer cell lines. However, there exists significant discrepancy between in vitro cell lines and actual tumors in vivo in terms of their response to drug treatments, because of tumors comprise of complex cellular compositions and ...

Cellular interactions in the tumor microenvironment: the role of secretome [PDF]
Over the past years, it has become evident that cancer initiation and progression depends on several components of the tumor microenvironment, including inflammatory and immune cells, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, adipocytes, and extracellular matrix ...

Fibrocytes in the Tumor Microenvironment [PDF]
Tumors have long been compared to chronic wounds that do not heal, since they share many of the same molecular and cellular processes. In normal wounds, healing processes lead to restoration of cellular architecture, while in malignant tumors, these healing processes become dysregulated and contribute to growth and invasion of neoplastic cells into the

Insights into PI3K/AKT signaling in B cell development and chronic lymphocytic leukemia
This Review explores how the phosphoinositide 3‐kinase and protein kinase B pathway shapes B cell development and drives chronic lymphocytic leukemia, a common blood cancer. It examines how signaling levels affect disease progression, addresses treatment challenges, and introduces novel experimental strategies to improve therapies and patient outcomes.

Niche inheritance: a cooperative pathway to enhance cancer cell fitness though ecosystem engineering [PDF]
Cancer cells can be described as an invasive species that is able to establish itself in a new environment. The concept of niche construction can be utilized to describe the process by which cancer cells terraform their environment, thereby engineering ...

The power of microRNA regulation—insights into immunity and metabolism
MicroRNAs are emerging as crucial regulators at the intersection of metabolism and immunity. This review examines how miRNAs coordinate glucose and lipid metabolism while simultaneously modulating T‐cell development and immune responses. Moreover, it highlights how cutting‐edge artificial intelligence applications can identify miRNA biomarkers ...

Metabolic regulatory crosstalk between tumor microenvironment and tumor-associated macrophages
Macrophages phagocytize pathogens to initiate innate immunity and products from the tumor microenvironment (TME) to mediate tumor immunity. The loss of tumor-associated macrophage (TAM)-mediated immune responses results in immune suppression.

Complex Far-Field Geometries Determine the Stability of Solid Tumor Growth with Chemotaxis [PDF]
In this paper, we develop a sharp interface tumor growth model to study the effect of the tumor microenvironment using a complex far-field geometry that mimics a heterogeneous distribution of vasculature. Together with different nutrient uptake rates inside and outside the tumor, this introduces variability in spatial diffusion gradients.
