This study shows that B cells support tumor-specific CD4 T cells to enhance PD-1 blockade efficacy, but antibody secretion is not necessary for long-term survival.

This study identifies the role of mature dendritic cells type 1 in forming, maintaining, and functioning tertiary lymphoid structures in cancer.

This study identifies an IL-34-IGF-1 axis between macrophages and KRAS-mutant lung tumor cells that promotes tumor progression and poor survival.

This study shows dendritic cells enhance CAR T cell persistence in irradiated tumors by antigen-dressing and stimulating CAR T cells through chimeric receptors.

The paper identifies a JAK-STAT-activated myeloid subset, IFIM, associated with anti-TNF resistance in Crohn's disease and proposes JAK inhibition as a therapeutic strategy.

This study identifies Bacteroidetes enrichment as a biomarker of immunotherapy resistance in hepatocellular carcinoma and shows its pro-tumorigenic effects in mouse models.

This study identifies conserved neoantigens across species and tissues that elicit strong immune responses and suppress tumor growth through vaccination.

This study shows that enhancing Fas/FasL signaling improves CAR-T cell bystander killing against antigen-negative tumor cells, reducing antigen escape and improving therapeutic outcomes.

The paper identifies NRF2-driven myeloid progenitor dysregulation that sustains immunosuppressive macrophages in tumors, showing NRF2 inhibition reduces their survival and enhances antitumor immunity.

The paper identifies TREM2-expressing macrophages as predictors of response to PD-1 blockade in HCC patients using clinical and spatial transcriptomic data.

The paper maps T cell epitopes in SARS-CoV-2, showing that immunodominant regions are conserved across variants and important for immune surveillance.

This study identifies Serpinb2 and Serpine1 as key factors in pancreatic cancer that remodel the tumor microenvironment to promote immune evasion and tumor progression.

MARQO pipeline automates single-cell analysis of multiplex immunostained tissue slides, showing improved accuracy over manual methods in cancer studies.

The paper benchmarks deconvolution tools for spatial transcriptomic data and introduces a novel pipeline to analyze tissue microenvironment dynamics.

This paper uses single-cell RNA-sequencing to analyze the tumor microenvironment in pleural mesothelioma, identifying gene programs, fetal-like endothelial cells, and a new therapeutic target.

This paper shows that AXL inhibits cholesterol mobilization in dendritic cells, which is necessary for their maturation and immunogenic response to cancer.

This study identifies circulating senescent myeloid cells as drivers of blood-brain barrier breakdown and neurodegeneration in LCH-ND.

The paper identifies IL10RB as a key regulator of COVID-19 host susceptibility and severity through integrative analysis of genetic and transcriptomic data, and validates potential drug repositioning candidates.

This study identifies shared molecular signatures between chronic fatigue syndrome and other fatiguing illnesses using RNA-sequencing data from blood samples.

This study shows that CSF-1 signaling is essential for cerebellar microglia identity and function, and its disruption causes motor and social behavior defects.

The paper shows that IBD microbiotas alter gut CD4 T-cell balance and drive colitis in mice, with specific T-cell profiles predicting disease status and severity.
