Low intra-tumor heterogeneity (ITH) correlates with increased patient survival and immunotherapy response. However, even highly homogeneous tumors are variably aggressive, and the immunological factors impacting aggressiveness remain understudied. Here, we analyzed the mechanisms underlying immune escape in murine tumors with low ITH.

However, even highly homogenous tumors may display variability in their aggressiveness, and how immunologic-factors impinge on their aggressiveness remains understudied.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFFloral pigmentation is of major importance to the ornamental industry, which is constantly searching for cultivars with novel colors. Goldenrod () has monochromatic yellow carotenoid-containing flowers that cannot be modified using classical breeding approaches due to a limited gene pool. To generate Solidago with novel colors through metabolic engineering, we first developed a procedure for its regeneration and transformation.
