Spatially restricted tumour-associated and host-associated immune drivers correlate with the recurrence sites of pancreatic cancer
Objective: Most patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) will experience recurrence after resection. Here, we investigate spatially organised immune determinants of PDAC recurrence. Design: PDACs (n=284; discovery cohort) were classified…

Allograft tissue under the microscope: only the beginning
Purpose of review: To review novel modalities for interrogating a kidney allograft biopsy to complement the current Banff schema. Recent findings: Newer approaches of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML),…

Increased fatty acid metabolism and decreased glycolysis are hallmarks of metabolic reprogramming within microglia in degenerating white matter during recovery from experimental stroke
The goal of this study was to evaluate changes in metabolic homeostasis during the first 12 weeks of recovery in a distal middle cerebral artery occlusion mouse model of stroke.…

The KRAS-Mutant Consensus Molecular Subtype 3 Reveals an Immunosuppressive Tumor Microenvironment in Colorectal Cancer
Simple Summary: The poor prognosis outcome of patients with KRAS mutations (KRASmut) was correlated with an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). At the gene expression level and pathway analysis, KRASmut tumor…

Spatial and molecular profiling of the mononuclear phagocyte network in Classic Hodgkin lymphoma
Classic Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) has a rich immune infiltrate, which is an intrinsic component of the neoplastic process. Malignant Hodgkin Reed-Sternberg cells (HRSC) create an immunosuppressive microenvironment by the expression…

Multiplex Immunofluorescence: A Powerful Tool in Cancer Immunotherapy
Traditional immunohistochemistry (IHC) has already become an essential method of diagnosis and therapy in cancer management. However, this antibody-based technique is limited to detecting a single marker per tissue section.…

Characterizing dermal transcriptional change in the progression from sun-protected skin to actinic keratosis
Understanding early tumorigenic events have obvious diagnostic and prognostic implications, particularly in the skin since this is the site of more US cancer diagnoses than any other organ (Rogers et…

Spatial transcriptomic characterization of COVID-19 pneumonitis identifies immune circuits related to tissue injury
Severe lung damage resulting from COVID-19 involves complex interactions between diverse populations of immune and stromal cells. In this study, we used a spatial transcriptomics approach to delineate the cells,…

Spatiotemporal local and abscopal cell death and immune responses to histotripsy focused ultrasound tumor ablation
Introduction: Histotripsy is a novel focused ultrasound tumor ablation modality with potent immunostimulatory effects. Methods: To measure the spatiotemporal kinetics of local andabscopal responses to histotripsy, C57BL/6 mice bearing bilateral…

Multiplexed 3D atlas of state transitions and immune interaction in colorectal cancer
Advanced solid cancers are complex assemblies of tumor, immune, and stromal cells characterized by high intratumoral variation. We use highly multiplexed tissue imaging, 3D reconstruction, spatial statistics, and machine learning…

Highly Multiplexed Spatially Resolved Proteomic and Transcriptional Profiling of the Glioblastoma Microenvironment Using Archived Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded Specimens
Glioblastoma is a heterogeneous tumor for which effective treatment options are limited and often insufficient. Few studies have examined the intratumoral transcriptional and proteomic heterogeneity of the glioblastoma microenvironment to…

PFKFB3 overexpression in monocytes of patients with colon but not rectal cancer programs pro-tumor macrophages and is indicative for higher risk of tumor relapse
Introduction: Circulating monocytes are main source for tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) that control tumor growth, angiogenesis, metastasis and therapy resistance. We raised the questions how monocyte programming is affected by growing…
