Spatial transcriptomics suggests that alterations occur in the preneoplastic breast microenvironment of BRCA1/2 mutation carriers
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in females, affecting one in every eight women and accounting for the majority of cancer-related deaths in women worldwide. Germline mutations in the…

Stroma AReactive Invasion Front Areas (SARIFA) proves prognostic relevance in gastric carcinoma and is based on a tumor-adipocyte interaction indicating an altered immune response. Gastric Cancer
Background: Recently, we presented Stroma AReactive Invasion Front Areas (SARIFA) as a new histomorphologic negative prognostic biomarker in gastric cancer. It is defined as direct contact between tumor cells and…

Spatial Distribution Of Immune Cells Drives Resistance To Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy In Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) alone or combined with target therapies represents the standard of care for localized triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). However, only a fraction of patients have a response, necessitating…

Targeting stroma and tumor, silencing galectin 1 treats orthotopic mouse hepatocellular carcinoma
This study examines inhibiting galectin 1 (Gal1) as a treatment option for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Gal1 has immunosuppressive and cancer-promoting roles. Our data showed that Gal1 was highly expressed in…

Digital Spatial Profiling Identifies the Tumor Periphery as a Highly Active Biological Niche in Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma
Simple Summary: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma is characterized by a high degree of genomic intratumoral heterogeneity. The extent of spatial and functional heterogeneity, however, is much less understood. In…

Expression of IDO1 in tumor microenvironment significantly predicts the risk of recurrence/distant metastasis for patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma
In this study, we aimed to explore immune markers predicting locoregional recurrence/distant metastasis (R/M) for patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) post-surgical intervention by using a novel high-throughput spatial…

Stress Keratin 17 Is a Predictive Biomarker Inversely Associated with Response to Immune Check-Point Blockade in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinomas and Beyond
Simple Summary: Between 15 and 35% of head and neck cancer patients respond to immune check-point blockade therapy (ICB), and some may experience potentially life-threatening adverse events. Biomarkers that can…

Organ-specific immunity: A tissue analysis framework for investigating local immune responses to SARS-CoV-2
Local immune activation at mucosal surfaces, mediated by mucosal lymphoid tissues, is vital for effective immune responses against pathogens. While pathogens like severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) can…

Spatial proteomics of hippocampal subfield-specific pathology in Alzheimer’s disease and primary age-related tauopathy
INTRODUCTION: Alzheimer's disease (AD) and primary age-related tauopathy (PART) both harbor 3R/4R hyperphosphorylated-tau (p-tau)-positive neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) but differ in the spatial p-tau development in the hippocampus. METHODS: Using Nanostring…

Peritumoral immune suppressive mechanisms impede intratumoral lymphocyte infiltration into CRC liver versus lung metastases
Microsatellite stable (MSS) colorectal cancer (CRC) patients with liver metastases are resistant to immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy, while about one-third of CRC patients without liver metastases, particularly those with…
