Inducing and exploiting vulnerabilities for the treatment of liver cancer
Liver cancer remains difficult to treat, owing to a paucity of drugs that target critical dependencies1,2; broad-spectrum kinase inhibitors such as sorafenib provide only a modest benefit to patients with hepatoc...

Open AccessConcomitant targeting of programmed death-1 (PD-1) and CD137 improves the efficacy of radiotherapy in a mouse model of human BRAFV600-mutant melanoma
T cell checkpoint blockade with antibodies targeting programmed cell death (ligand)-1 (PD-1/PD-L1) and/or cytotoxic T lymphocyte-antigen 4 (CTLA-4) has improved therapy outcome in melanoma patients. However, ...

Sunitinib pretreatment improves tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte expansion by reduction in intratumoral content of myeloid-derived suppressor cells in human renal cell carcinoma
Targeted therapy with sunitinib, pazopanib or everolimus has improved treatment outcome for patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma patients (RCC). However, despite considerable efforts in sequential or ...

Mimicking homeostatic proliferation in vitro generates T cells with high anti-tumor function in non-lymphopenic hosts
CD8+ T cells undergoing homeostatic proliferation (HP) in a lymphopenic environment acquire a central memory-like phenotype (CD44+ CD62L+ Ly6c+). Such cells are readily functional in vitro, with a strong capacity...

High expression of GCLC is associated with malignant melanoma of low oxidative phenotype and predicts a better prognosis
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are strongly implicated in melanoma development, and treatment with antioxidants has shown efficacy in suppressing malignant transition and progression. Here, we investigated the ...

Insertional mutagenesis identifies multiple networks of cooperating genes driving intestinal tumorigenesis
Douglas Winton and colleagues report the results of a large insertional mutagenesis screen to identify drivers of intestinal tumorigenesis in mice. The study identifies a large number of potential cancer drive...
