This study identifies SPHK2 as a therapeutic target in G3MB, showing that its inhibition restores anti-tumor immunity and improves survival in mouse models, with enhanced effects when combined with radiation.

The paper shows that sustained cell volume expansion in melanoma primes cells to develop drug tolerance while increasing susceptibility to CD8+ T cell killing.

This study shows that single nutrients do not determine breast cancer metastasis sites, and identifies purine synthesis as a key factor across multiple tissues.

The paper develops a physiologically based pharmacokinetic model to simulate CAR-T cell dynamics in solid tumors, showing vascular normalization improves efficacy and reduces required CAR-T doses.

This study shows mutant p53R172H in pancreatic cancer enhances immunosuppressive chemokine Cxcl1 expression via enhancer activation, reducing immune checkpoint inhibitor efficacy.

This study profiles metabolites in renal cell carcinoma tissue and fluid to show that nutrient availability is more influenced by tissue-specific factors than tumor-driven changes.
