Antibody-based delivery of interleukin-2 modulates the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment and achieves cure in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma syngeneic mice

Dario Neri

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most aggressive and deadly type of cancer, with an extremely low five-year overall survival rate. To date, current treatment options primarily involve various chemotherapies, which often prove ineffecti ...

Use of a novel microbiome modulator improves anticancer immunity in a murine model of malignant pleural mesothelioma

Paul Joseph Dyson

Objective: Malignant pleural mesothelioma is a fatal disease and a clinical challenge, as few effective treatment modalities are available. Previous evidence links the gut microbiome to the host immunoreactivity to tumors. We thus evaluated the impact of a ...

Patient-derived mini-colons enable long-term modeling of tumor–microenvironment complexity

Matthias Lütolf, Nicolas Antoine Vincent Broguiere, Jakob Josef Langer, Lucie Carrié Tillard

Existing organoid models fall short of fully capturing the complexity of cancer because they lack sufficient multicellular diversity, tissue-level organization, biological durability and experimental flexibility. Thus, many multifactorial cancer processes, ...

The circadian oscillator analysed at the single-transcript level

Eric Daniel Jacques Durandau, Felix Naef, Jake Yeung, Damien Lionel Nicolas

The circadian clock is an endogenous and self-sustained oscillator that anticipates daily environmental cycles. While rhythmic gene expression of circadian genes is well-described in populations of cells, the single-cell mRNA dynamics of multiple core cloc ...

Surface Topography, Bacterial Carrying Capacity, and the Prospect of Microbiome Manipulation in the Sea Anemone Coral Model Aiptasia

Anders Meibom, Gaëlle Delphine Toullec, Céline Edith Loussert-Fonta

Aiptasia is an emerging model organism to study cnidarian symbioses due to its taxonomic relatedness to other anthozoans such as stony corals and similarities of its microalgal and bacterial partners, complementing the existing Hydra (Hydrozoa) and Nematos ...

Trametinib Induces the Stabilization of a Dual GNAQ p.Gly48Leu-and FGFR4 p.Cys172Gly-Mutated Uveal Melanoma. The Role of Molecular Modelling in Personalized Oncology

Krisztian Homicsko

We report a case of an uveal melanoma patient with GNAQ p.Gly48Leu who responded to MEK inhibition. At the time of the molecular analysis, the pathogenicity of the mutation was unknown. A tridimensional structural analysis showed that G alpha(q) can adopt ...

Identification of epidermal pdx1 expression discloses different roles of notch1 and notch2 in murine kras-induced skin carcinogenesis in vivo

Freddy Radtke

BACKGROUND: The Ras and Notch signaling pathways are frequently activated during development to control many diverse cellular processes and are often dysregulated during tumorigenesis. To study the role of Notch and oncogenic Kras signaling in a progenitor ...
