Exploring the interplay of molecular pattern and valency for selective interactions at the bio-interface

Cell-cell communication is fundamental for immune balance. Multivalent interactions of surface receptors at immune interfaces drive specific communication, with stimulatory and inhibitory signals guiding the immune outcome. Notably, the valency, affinity, ...

Soft cancer cells squeeze through T cell's grip

Armand Kurum, Li Tang, Yi Wang

Immune cells are exquisitely sensitive to the mechanical properties of cancer cells. Soft cancer cells can avoid immune-mediated destruction. Therapeutically targeting this mechanical immune checkpoint may enhance the efficacy of cancer immunotherapy. ...

Colon tumour cell death causes mTOR dependence by paracrine P2X4 stimulation

Andrea Ablasser

Solid cancers exhibit a dynamic balance between cell death and proliferation ensuring continuous tumour maintenance and growth(1,2). Increasing evidence links enhanced cancer cell apoptosis to paracrine activation of cells in the tumour microenvironment in ...

Dendritic cell cross-dressing and tumor immunity

Michele De Palma, Amaia Martinez Usatorre

In addition to direct and cross-presentation, dendritic cells (DCs) can present tumor antigens (TAs) to T cells via a hitherto poorly understood mechanism called "cross-dressing." DC cross-dressing involves the acquisition of preformed peptide-major histoc ...

Immunosuppressive roles of Activin-A in melanoma and characterization of its precursor cleavage

Katarina Pinjusic

Activin-A, a transforming growth factor ê µ family member, is a pleiotropic cytokine with diverse functions in development, fertility, adult tissue homeostasis, and aging. Accordingly, deregulation of Activin-A signaling has been associated with many patho ...

Mechanical Immunoengineering of T Cells for Enhanced Cancer Immunotherapy

Kewen Lei

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death globally. Immunotherapy represents one of the most promising cancer treatments inducing complete and durable responses in a fraction of cancer patients. Despite the unprecedented clinical success achieved by T c ...

Integrative transcriptome analyses of Transposable Elements (TEs) and genes contribute to a better understanding of colorectal cancer

Eunji Shin

Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide. Cancer develops through multiple hallmark functions including apoptosis evasion, unlimited replicative potential, metastasis, and immune avoidance. Over the past few decades, researchers have reported ...

Principles of checkpoint override

Ahmad Sadeghi

Why biological quality-control systems fail is often mysterious. Specifically, checkpoints such as the DNA damage checkpoint or the spindle assembly checkpoint are overriden after prolonged arrests allowing cells to continue dividing despite the continued ...
