Aging-induced hepatocyte CD44 drives IL6/STAT3 signaling and associates with impaired neighboring T cell function.

Armin Gandhi, Kathryn Lande, Kelly Yichen Li, Filipe Araujo Hoffmann, Michael LaPorte, Shirong Tan, K. Garrett Evensen, Benji Portillo, Marcos G. Teneche, Rouven Arnold, Adarsh Rajesh, Jessica Proulx, Shanshan Yin, Aaron P. Havas, Angela Liou, , Peter D. Adams

This study shows that aging-induced CD44 in hepatocytes activates the IL6/JAK/STAT3 pathway, leading to impaired T cell function in the liver.

Mapping intratumoral myeloid-T cell interactomes at single-cell resolution reveals targets for overcoming checkpoint inhibitor resistance

Kate Bridges, Gabriela A. Pizzurro, Alev Baysoy, Janani P. Baskaran, Ziyan Zoe Xu, Varsha Mathew, Victoria Tripple, Michael LaPorte, Koonam Park, William Damsky, Harriet M. Kluger, Rong Fan, Susan M. Kaech, Marcus Bosenberg, Kathryn Miller‐Jensen

The paper develops a computational method to analyze single-cell RNA-seq data to study cell-cell interactions in tumors, showing that CD40 agonist enhances immune checkpoint blockade by modulating myeloid-T cell interactions.

Activated Interferon Signaling Suppresses Age-Dependent Liver Cancer

Aaron P. Havas, Kathryn Lande, Adarsh Rajesh, K. Garrett Evensen, Siva Karthik Varanasi, Linshan Shang, Elizabeth Schmidt, Jin Lee, Kenneth Kim, Marcos Garcia Teneche, Filipe Hoffmann, Michael LaPorte, Andrew Davis, Abby Grier, Julie A. Reisz, , Peter D. Adams

This study shows that aged livers have heightened interferon signaling that suppresses cancer but also has harmful effects, leading to a 'precarious balance' in tumor development.
