New publication on the role of #macrophages in shaping the tumor #microenvironment in #cancer ... leading to the exploration of #adipose tissue and it's impact on #innateimmunity and #adaptiveimmunity in #ovariancancer to the point where resistancr to #immunotherapy is observed. These findings are then put into action for patient stratification, showing the utility in #radiology and #medicaloncology and #oncology #Science #medicine #immunology
A new Collection on #cancer is out @PLOSBiology! We delve into how #omics technologies are helping researchers understand the #tumor #microenvironment (TME)
Edited by Yibin Kang, who wrote a great Editorial to frame the Collection, this group of Essays and Perspectives covers topics as diverse as:
- mutual plasticity of #cancer & immune cells in the #TME & why its relevance in therapy
- metabolic crosstalk between cancer and T cells, and how to leverage it to reprogram anti-tumor immune responses
- the potential of defining the 3D tumor neural niche using spatial omics & #AI technologies to identify new targeted therapy opportunities
- evolutionary selection operating across levels in cancer, highlighting how this understanding can be used to improve prevention and treatment
- mathematical models as tools for exploring the complex interplay between #cancer cells and their environment, and the role of AI in leading the way towards the next wave of tumor models
- how #MultiOmics data be leveraged to help cancer patients
- how single-cell technologies can help understand cancer metastatic niches and inform novel therapies
- a call for better preclinical models and improved understanding of stromal cell function in the TME
Senior cancer editor @PLOSBiology, Richard Hodge, discusses his vision for cancer biology at the journal in an accompanying Biologue post.
Take a look at let us know what you think!
New #mechanobiology paper on #cancer #microenvironment. The authors show that cancer-associated #fibroblasts (CAFs) compress tumors with actomyosin supracellular contractility supported by #fibronectin deposition. This induces #YAP nuclear exit in cancer cells, limits cancer growth, and induces tumor reorganization.
Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) can produce ECM and form a physical barrier around the tumour. Here, the authors show in transgenic mouse models and in vitro systems that CAFs are able to actively compress cancer cells using actomyosin contractility and this leads to a modulation of cancer cell mechanosensing and tumour reorganisation.
Come and work with us - job opening at the Molenaar research group in the Princess Máxima Center for pediatric oncology, looking for a #bioinformatician / #DataScientist.
Together with my colleagues and me you will research #neuroblastoma, with a focus on #tumour #microenvironment and the #immune compartment using a range of #sequencing data and other high-throughput data.
