Intratumoral Injection of R848 and Poly(I:C) Synergistically Promoted Antitumour Immune Responses by Reprogramming Macrophage Polarization and Activating DCs in Lung Cancer.

Introduction: Immunotherapy has rapidly become a primary treatment option for many lung cancer patients because of its success in treating this prevalent and deadly disease. However, the success of immunotherapy relies on overcoming the immunosuppressive tumour microenvironment, making remodelling this environment a potential strategy for lung cancer therapy. Research suggests that Toll-like receptor (TLR) agonists can impede tumour growth by promoting the conversion of tumour-associated macrophages into an M1-like state or enhancing dendritic cell development.

Disruption of GPSM1/CSF1 signaling reprograms tumor-associated macrophages to overcome anti-PD-1 resistance in colorectal cancer.

Background: Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapies, particularly anti-PD-1, benefit only a limited subset of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. G-protein signaling modulator 1 (GPSM1) is implicated in immunity and oncology, yet its role in regulating the CRC tumor microenvironment (TME) and contributing to anti-PD-1 resistance remains poorly understood.

Methods: We employed single-cell RNA sequencing and multiplex immunofluorescence on tumor samples from anti-PD-1-resistant CRC patients to evaluate GPSM1 expression and its impact on macrophage polarization.

(Fabricius) (Diptera: Calliphoridae) is a common necrophagous insect species, making its rapid and accurate identification essential. However, commonly used molecular biology methods, such as DNA barcode, still have some limitations in identifying necrophagous insects as they are often complex, time-consuming, and reliant on laboratory instruments.

Ansofaxine suppressed NSCLC progression by increasing sensitization to combination immunotherapy.

Introduction: Depression negatively impacts the prognosis of various cancers, including lung cancer, by influencing antitumor immune responses and impairing immune cell function. Antidepressants may modulate the tumor immune microenvironment, enhancing immunotherapy efficacy. However, the specific mechanisms remain unclear.

Multimodal Approaches Based on Microbial Data for Accurate Postmortem Interval Estimation.

Accurate postmortem interval (PMI) estimation is critical for forensic investigations, aiding case classification and providing vital trial evidence. Early postmortem signs, such as body temperature and rigor mortis, are reliable for estimating PMI shortly after death. However, these indicators become less useful as decomposition progresses, making late-stage PMI estimation a significant challenge.

Characteristics and Significance of Tertiary Lymphoid Structures Based on Molecular Subtypes in Endometrial Cancer.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the characteristics and significance of tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs) in endometrial cancer (EC) based on molecular subtypes.
