Unraveling Heterogeneity in the Aging Hematopoietic Stem Cell Compartment: An Insight From Single-cell Approaches
Specific cell types and, therefore, organs respond differently during aging. This is also true for the hematopoietic system, where it has been demonstrated that hematopoietic stem cells alter a variety…

Could the tumor-associated microbiota be the new multi-faceted player in the tumor microenvironment?
Microorganisms have been identified in tumor specimens for over a century. It is only in recent years that tumor-associated microbiota has become a rapidly expanding field. Assessment techniques encompass methods…

Multiomics technologies for comprehensive tumor microenvironment analysis in triple-negative breast cancer under neoadjuvant chemotherapy
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is one of the most aggressive breast cancer subtypes and is characterized by abundant infiltrating immune cells within the microenvironment. As standard care, chemotherapy remains the…

Senescence and senotherapies in biliary atresia and biliary cirrhosis
Background: Premature senescence occurs in adult hepatobiliary diseases and worsens the prognosis through deleterious liver remodeling and hepatic dysfunction. Senescence might also arises in biliary atresia (BA), the first cause…

High expression of STAT3 within the tumour-associated stroma predicts poor outcome in breast cancer patients
INTRODUCTION: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients have the poorest clinical outcomes compared to other molecular subtypes of breast cancer. IL6/JAK/STAT3 signalling is upregulated in breast cancer; however, there is limited…

Increased Fusobacterium tumoural abundance affects immunogenicity in mucinous colorectal cancer and may be associated with improved clinical outcome
There is currently an urgent need to identify factors predictive of immunogenicity in colorectal cancer (CRC). Mucinous CRC is a distinct histological subtype of CRC, associated with a poor response…

Neoadjuvant intratumoral influenza vaccine treatment in patients with proficient mismatch repair colorectal cancer leads to increased tumor infiltration of CD8+ T cells and upregulation of PD-L1: a phase 1/2 clinical trial
Background In colorectal cancer, the effects of immune checkpoint inhibitors are mostly limited to patients with deficient mismatch repair tumors, characterized by a high grade infiltration of CD8+T cells. Interventions aimed…

Canonical and truncated transglutaminase-2 regulate mucin-1 expression and androgen independency in prostate cancer cell lines
Androgen independency is associated with poor prostate cancer (PCa) survival. Here we report that silencing of transglutaminase-2 (TG2) expression by CRISPR-Cas9 is associated with upregulation of androgen receptor (AR) transcription…

Immune-related gene expression profile at peri-tumoral tonsillar tissue is modified by oropharyngeal cancer nodal status
Secondary lymphoid organs (SLOs), such as lymph nodes and tonsils, serve as an interface between the immune system and tumor cells as an initial antigen presentation site, critical in anti-tumor…
