    Metabolic targeting of cancer associated fibroblasts overcomes T-cell exclusion and chemoresistance in soft-tissue sarcomas

    T cell-based immunotherapies have exhibited promising outcomes in tumor control; however, their efficacy is limited in immune-excluded tumors. Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) play a pivotal role in shapin...

    Combined PD-L1/TGFβ blockade allows expansion and differentiation of stem cell-like CD8 T cells in immune excluded tumors

    TGFβ signaling is associated with non-response to immune checkpoint blockade in patients with advanced cancers, particularly in the immune-excluded phenotype. While previous work demonstrates that converting t...

    circCsnk1g3- and circAnkib1-regulated interferon responses in sarcoma promote tumorigenesis by sha** the immune microenvironment

    Exonic circular RNAs (circRNAs) produce predominantly non-coding RNA species that have been recently profiled in many tumors. However, their functional contribution to cancer progression is still poorly unders...

    Single cell-derived spheroids capture the self-renewing subpopulations of metastatic ovarian cancer

    High Grade Serous Ovarian cancer (HGSOC) is a major unmet need in oncology, due to its precocious dissemination and the lack of meaningful human models for the investigation of disease pathogenesis in a patien...

    Clonally expanded EOMES+ Tr1-like cells in primary and metastatic tumors are associated with disease progression

    Regulatory T (Treg) cells are a barrier for tumor immunity and a target for immunotherapy. Using single-cell transcriptomics, we found that CD4+ T cells infiltrating primary and metastatic colorectal cancer and n...

    Epigenomic landscape of human colorectal cancer unveils an aberrant core of pan-cancer enhancers orchestrated by YAP/TAZ

    Cancer is characterized by pervasive epigenetic alterations with enhancer dysfunction orchestrating the aberrant cancer transcriptional programs and transcriptional dependencies. Here, we epigenetically charac...

    Codes and Structures in Landscape: The Normative Superstructure and the Difficult Whole of Signs and Significance

    The ten topics posed by Venturi evidently overcome a purely formal evaluation and should be considered as topics of semiotic research. As such they can therefore be read in terms of structures and codes; compl...
