AbstractSummary:. Technology advancement and the courage to challenge dogma have been key elements that have continuously shifted druggability limits. We illustrate this notion with several recent ...
Metastasis is initiated and sustained through therapy by cancer cells with stem-like and immune-evasive properties, termed metastasis-initiating cells (MIC). Recent progress suggests that MICs result ...
AbstractOver the past 10 years, circulating tumor cells (CTC) and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) have received enormous attention as new biomarkers and subjects of translational research. Although both ...
This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the current therapies targeting the TME, combining a discussion of the underlying basic biology with clinical evaluation of different therapeutic ...
Abstract. Manual review of aligned reads for confirmation and interpretation of variant calls is an important step in many variant calling pipelines for next-generation sequencing (NGS) data. Visual ...
Abstract. Colorectal cancer is one of leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Therefore, there have been various attempts to cure the cancer by developing new efficient anti-cancer therapy in addition ...
Cervical cancer screening has undergone a transformation in recent decades. Historically, programs were based on cervical cytology (i.e., “Pap smear”), which had to be repeated often because of its ...
Abstract. Mutations in KRAS are the most common oncogenic driver mutations in human cancers. The KRAS G12C mutation is one of the most prevalent KRAS mutations, present in approximately 12% of ...
Abstract. Antibody-based immune checkpoint blockade therapy has revolutionized the field of cancer immunotherapy, yet its efficacy remains limited in immunologically cold tumors. Combining checkpoint ...
Abstract. Personalized cancer vaccines can generate circulating immune responses against predicted neoantigen targets, but whether such responses lead to actual immune recognition of a patient’s tumor ...
