[Molecular Therapy] Researchers found that the levels of methyltransferase 5 (METTL5) and 18S rRNA m6A modification were significantly upregulated in post-radiofrequency ablation (RFA) recurrent HCC and were further verified by insufficient RFA models in vitro and in vivo.
[Cellular & Molecular Immunology] Single-cell and bulk RNA sequencing analyses identified the DNA damage repair gene mortality factor 4-like 1 (MORF4L1) as a critical regulator of hepatocellular carcinoma progression and resistance to radiotherapy.
[Cell Systems] Using proteomics and dynamic pathway modeling, investigators showed that diclofenac and acetaminophen directly impact IL-6 signaling by enhancing the induction of the feedback-inhibitor suppressor of cytokine signaling 3.
[Journal of Translational Medicine] Investigators systematically elucidate the molecular mechanisms by which hypoxia-inducible factor and key m6A-modifying enzymes jointly regulate HCC progression within the hypoxic microenvironment.
[Mursla Bio] Mursla Bio announced a collaboration with a leading global pharmaceutical company recognized for its expertise in precision medicine and biomarker-guided drug development.
[Expert Review of Clinical Immunology] Scientists explore the role of Tregs in the immune system, delve into their contribution to cancer and tumor progression, and highlight therapeutic strategies targeting Tregs, along with innovative delivery systems.
[Cell Research] Researchers unveiled a mechanism for V-domain Ig suppressor of T cell activation (VISTA) regulation in T cells and highlights targeting tripartite motif containing 25 (TRIM25)–VISTA as a potential strategy to enhance tumor immunotherapy.
[Leukemia] The authors conducted integrated genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 loss-of-function screens using CD30-specific CAR-engineered NK cells, alongside a complementary PD-L1 regulator screen, and uncovered a critical role for interleukin-1 receptor signaling in modulating CAR therapy efficacy in both ALK⁺ and ALK⁻ anaplastic large cell lymphoma.
