Open AccessPenpulimab, an anti-PD-1 antibody, for heavily pretreated metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma: a single-arm phase II study
Penpulimab is an anti-programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) IgG1 antibody with no Fc gamma receptor (FcγR) binding activity, and thus theoretically reduced immune-related adverse events (irAEs) while maintaining effi...

Open AccessTumor initiation and early tumorigenesis: molecular mechanisms and interventional targets
Tumorigenesis is a multistep process, with oncogenic mutations in a normal cell conferring clonal advantage as the initial event. However, despite pervasive somatic mutations and clonal expansion in normal tis...

Article
Open AccessActivated platelet-derived exosomal LRG1 promotes multiple myeloma cell growth
The hypercoagulable state is a hallmark for patients with multiple myeloma (MM) and is associated with disease progression. Activated platelets secrete exosomes and promote solid tumor growth. However, the rol...
