Induction of the activating transcription factor-4 in the intratumoral CD8+ T cells sustains their viability and anti-tumor activities
Immune suppressive factors of the tumor microenvironment (TME) undermine viability and exhaust the activities of the intratumoral cytotoxic CD8 + T lymphocytes (CTL) thereby evading anti-tumor immunity and dec...

Open AccessWnt signaling is involved in 6-benzylthioinosine-induced AML cell differentiation
We previously demonstrated that 6-benzylthioinosine (6-BT) could induce the differentiation of a subset of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell lines and primary AML cells regardless of their cytogenetics. In thi...
