FPR2 Shapes an Immune-Excluded Pancreatic Tumor Microenvironment and Drives T-Cell Exhaustion in a Sex-Dependent Manner
Single-cell RNA-sequencing and protein analyses uncovered a subpopulation of myeloid cells in pancreatic lesions associated with an immune‐excluded tumor phenotype and effector T-cell exhaustion exclusively in females.
[89bio, Inc.] 89bio, Inc. announced positive topline data from the Phase IIb ENLIVEN trial evaluating treatment with pegozafermin in patients with NASH. In the study, both the 44mg Q2W and 30mg QW doses met, with high statistical significance.
[Communications Biology] The expression of myocardial infarction-associated transcript (MIAT) was up-regulated during liver fibrosis. Silencing MIAT led to the suppression of hepatic stellate cell proliferation and collagen expression.
[EMBO Molecular Medicine] WD-repeat 6 (WDR6) deficiency in hepa1-6 cells drastically inhibited the growth and lung metastasis of orthotopically implanted tumors in immune-competent C57BL/6J mice.
