Diffuse gastric cancer (DGC) is the most common manifestation in germline CTNNA1 variant carriers, with one study estimating a 49-57% lifetime risk by age 80. Knowledge on CTNNA1-associated hereditary diffuse gastric cancer (HDGC), loss-of-function mechanisms, variant-type causality, disease spectru…

The clinical application of targeted therapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has significantly improved the survival prognosis of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, due to the high heterogeneity of HCC, the response rate to immunotherapy is still low, and there is an urge…

Given the fundamental biological importance of lipids not only as structural components and energy substrates but also as potent bioactive molecules that govern immune and oncogenic signaling, lipid metabolism reprogramming has emerged as a central driver of tumor progression. Rather than merely fue…

CD8+ T stem cell memory (TSCM) cells show clinical promise for cancer immunotherapy, but TSCM cell generation in clinical settings requires further optimization. Ponatinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor primarily targeting BCR-ABL1 and used for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia. Here, we inv…

Subcutaneous atezolizumab (with rHuPH20) streamlines anti-PD-L1 delivery while preserving the intravenous (IV) formulation’s performance. This review integrates pharmacokinetic, clinical, safety, patient-reported, and operational data from IMscin001 and related studies in NSCLC. A fixed 1,875-mg SC …

Immunocompromised patients include those with innate T or B cell suppression, acquired immunodeficiency states such as those caused by human immunodeficiency virus infection, and those with medication-induced immunosuppression (chemotherapy or immunotherapy, solid organ transplant recipients). Any o…

Follicular lymphoma (FL) first-line chemoimmunotherapy yields high efficacy but serious toxicity in 65% of patients. In high tumour burden treatment-naïve FL, we aimed to exploit known immunostimulatory and cytotoxic properties of combination checkpoint inhibition (atezolizumab) and obinutuzuma…

Live bacterial therapy has shown promise in inducing antitumor immunity, but its efficacy is often limited by the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) and insufficient tumor-specific T cell activation. In this study, core-shell Au@ZnxMn1-xS nanoparticles (AZMS) were synthesized and covalen…

Toll-like receptor 7/8 (TLR7/8) agonists have shown promise as immune stimulants in cancer immunotherapy but have had limited clinical success, largely hampered by safety concerns associated with systemic administration. To overcome this, the design of new molecules featuring lipophilic substituents…

Liver cancer remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, with limited durable responses to conventional therapies. Cancer vaccines utilising the immune system offer a promising alternative. Here, we developed a prophylactic whole-cell tumour vaccine by engineering Hepa 1-6 ce…

Urological malignancies impose a substantial global health burden, underscoring the urgent need for more effective therapeutic strategies. Although immunotherapy has transformed cancer management, its benefit in urological tumors remains inconsistent, often limited by tumor-intrinsic resistance and …

Aging is a spontaneous biological process involving intricate regulatory mechanisms over time. Studies in mice and humans indicate that the gut microbiota is closely linked to the aging process and plays an important role in it. However, the relationship between the rumen microbiota and aging in dai…

Current treatment protocols for most types of cancers require chemotherapeutic agents that are associated with significant side effects, including chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). Currently, there are no effective CIPN prevention strategies, and current treatment approaches remain …

Lipid metabolism plays a crucial role in cellular signal transduction, affects the structural integrity of cell membranes, and regulates energy metabolism. However, various viruses, including African swine fever virus (ASFV), usurp lipid metabolism to enhance their replication. The mechanism for the…

Pueraria montana var. lobata (Willd.) is a well-known herbal medicine, also referred to as “kudzu.” It is used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat various medical conditions, including diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, diarrhea, and hypertension. Additionally, Pueraria montana var. lobata is c…

Insufficient skeletal repair is the primary threat of health span and lifespan in elders with increasingly vast global burden; yet, to date, the knowledge of resolving this crisis remains limited. In this study, we addressed the specific mechanisms underlying aging-associated poor bone repair, which…
