Tumor microenvironment-mediated immune profiles and efficacy of anti-PD-L1 antibody plus chemotherapy stratified by DLL3 expression in small-cell lung cancer
Delta-like ligand 3 (DLL3) is a therapeutic target in small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). However, how DLL3 expression status affects the tumor microenvironment (TME) and clinical outcomes in SCLC remains unclear.

Open AccessAn ATR-PrimPol pathway confers tolerance to oncogenic KRAS-induced and heterochromatin-associated replication stress
Activation of the KRAS oncogene is a source of replication stress, but how this stress is generated and how it is tolerated by cancer cells remain poorly understood. Here we show that induction of KRASG12V expres...

Open AccessContribution of an Asian-prevalent HLA haplotype to the risk of HBV-related hepatocellular carcinoma
Liver cancer, particularly hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), is more common in Asians than in Caucasians. This is due, at least in part, to regional differences in the prevalence ...
