Direct interaction between cancer cells and fibroblasts promotes early chemoresistance to standard-of-care drug therapy in small cell lung cancer (SCLC)

Nilu Dhungel, Brian Latimer, David Custis, Ana‐Maria Dragoi

This study shows direct contact between SCLC cells and fibroblasts causes early chemoresistance to etoposide and cisplatin, with idarubicin remaining effective.

Characterization of Neisseria gonorrhoeae colonization of macrophages under distinct polarization states and nutrients environment

María Dolores Juárez Rodríguez, Madison Marquette, Reneau Youngblood…·Ana-Maria Dragoi

This study investigates how Neisseria gonorrhoeae colonizes macrophages under different polarization states and nutrient conditions, finding that invasion occurs across all activation states with lower efficiency in M1-like macrophages.
