Gastric cancer (GC) remains a major clinical challenge, with most patients exhibiting primary resistance to anti-programmed cell death protein-1 (anti-PD-1) immunotherapy and a lack of effective predictive biomarkers. Most advanced GC presents as immu…
Background
Focused ultrasound thermal ablation (T-FUS) is a clinically accessible, non-invasive modality capable of inducing rapid tumor cytoreduction while mobilizing early immunologic danger signals. However, its capacity to synergize with potent co…
Background
Resistance to anti-programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) treatment in gastric cancer (GC) is closely associated with an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. However, the role of neutrophils in resistance to anti-PD-1 therapy remains u…
Background
Although immunotherapy has revolutionized cancer treatment, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) continues to demonstrate limited clinical responses, highlighting the urgent need for novel immunomodulatory strategies. Trained immunity, an emergin…
Background
The tumor microenvironment, particularly the tumor stroma, plays a critical role in tumor progression, immune evasion, and therapeutic resistance. However, its interaction with the immune landscape in rectal cancer (RC) remains incompletely…
Background
Conventional antibody discovery approaches that do not account for enrichment-driven biases, such as epitope immunogenicity, PCR amplification bias, or protein expression efficiency, may result in under-representation of rare yet functional…
Background
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains a major global health burden with limited effective therapeutic strategies. Although chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has shown encouraging potential, its efficacy in HCC is profoundly co…
Background
The acidic tumor microenvironment (TME) is a major driver of immunosuppression and tumor progression in breast cancer. Although myosin VI (MYO6), an actin-dependent motor protein, is frequently upregulated in malignancies, its function in i…
Background
Circulating tumor antigens (ctA; tumor markers) are blood-based proteins that can offer prognostic value in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and may serve as potential early surrogates for survival. Given the significantly reduced testing…
Background
Cancer-associated mesothelial cells (CAMCs) are key modulators of the ovarian tumor microenvironment, contributing to tumor growth and immune evasion. Mesothelial cells (MCs) maintain peritoneal homeostasis and immune surveillance and repre…
