Long noncoding RNA NRAV can regulate interferon-stimulated gene expression in melanoma

Kadir Ziya Durmuş, Emre Kılıç, Cagatay Sahin…·H. Atakan Ekiz

This study shows that NRAV, a long noncoding RNA, suppresses interferon-stimulated gene expression in melanoma, contributing to immune evasion.

ARF6-dependent endocytic trafficking of the Interferon-γ receptor drives adaptive immune resistance in cancer.

Yinshen Wee, Junhua Wang, Emily C. Wilson…·Allie H. Grossmann

This study identifies ARF6-dependent endocytic trafficking of the IFN-gamma receptor as a mechanism driving adaptive immune resistance in cancer, linking it to immune checkpoint blockade efficacy.
