Upregulation of Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 in tumor cells and tertiary lymphoid structures is a hallmark of inflamed non-small cell lung cancer
Purpose: Overexpression of the tryptophan-catabolizing enzyme indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) has been reported in several tumor types, including NSCLC, and has been shown to promote tumor immune evasion and inhibit…

Characterization of mismatch-repair (MMR)/microsatellite instability (MSI)-discordant endometrial cancers
Background: Mismatch-repair (MMR)/microsatellite instability (MSI) status has therapeutic implications in endometrial cancer (EC). The authors evaluated the concordance of testing and factors contributing to MMR expression heterogeneity. Methods: Six hundred…

Spatial Decoding of Immune Cell Contribution to Fibroblastic Foci in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is characterized by heterogeneity, manifested as patchy lesions evident in histopathologic and radiologic findings of the lung (1). Although current technologies, such as single-cell sequencing and…

Enhanced antitumour immunity following neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy mediates a favourable prognosis in women with resected pancreatic cancer
Background: This study investigates sex disparities in clinical outcomes and tumour immune profiles in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) who underwent upfront resection or resection preceded by gemcitabine-based neoadjuvant…

Spatial Transcriptomics Reveals Distinct Tissue Niches Linked with Steroid Responsiveness in Acute Gastrointestinal GVHD
Severe acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) is associated with significant mortality and morbidity, especially in steroid-resistant (SR) cases. Spatial transcriptomic technology can elucidate tissue-based interactions in vivo and possibly identify predictors…

Use of high-plex data provides novel insights into the temporal artery processes of giant cell arteritis
Objective: To identify the key coding genes underlying the biomarkers and pathways associated with giant cell arteritis (GCA), we performed an in situ spatial profiling of molecules involved in the…

Irreversible cell cycle exit associated with senescence is mediated by constitutive MYC degradation
Cells can irreversibly exit the cell cycle and become senescent to safeguard against uncontrolled proliferation. While the p53-p21 and p16-Rb pathways are thought to mediate senescence, they also mediate reversible…
