Immunogenomic determinants of exceptional response to immune checkpoint inhibition in renal cell carcinoma
Immune checkpoint inhibitors can lead to ‘exceptional’, durable responses in a subset of persons. However, the molecular basis of exceptional r…
Systemic IFN-I combined with topical TLR7/8 agonists promotes distant tumor suppression by c-Jun-dependent IL-12 expression in dendritic cells
Dendritic cell (DC) activation by pattern recognition receptors like Toll-like-receptors (TLRs) is crucial for cancer immunotherapies. Here, we dem…
FLASH radiation reprograms lipid metabolism and macrophage immunity and sensitizes medulloblastoma to CAR-T cell therapy
FLASH radiotherapy holds promise for treating solid tumors given the potential lower toxicity in normal tissues but its therapeutic effects on tumo…

Platinum-based definitive chemoradiotherapy (dCRT) is the standard treatment for patients with unresectable locally advanced esophageal squamous ce…
Pembrolizumab in microsatellite-instability-high and mismatch-repair-deficient advanced solid tumors: updated results of the KEYNOTE-158 trial
The phase 2 trial KEYNOTE-158 (NCT02628067) evaluated pembrolizumab in microsatellite…
An antibody–toxin conjugate targeting CD47 linked to the bacterial toxin listeriolysin O for cancer immunotherapy
Antigen-presenting cells phagocytose tumor cells and subsequently cross-present tumor-derived antigens. However, these processes are impeded by pha…
