About twenty genes participating in checkpoint control are known in yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The involvement of SRM genes in the cell cycle arrest under the action of injurious agents was studied in this work. These genes were earlier defined as genes affecting genetic stability and radiosensitivity. It was shown that mutations srm5/cdc28-srm, srm8/net1-srm, and srm12/hfi1-srm shorten the cell cycle arrest in the presence of DNA damage and influence the checkpoint arrest in G0/S (srm5, srm8), G1/S (srm5, srm8, srm12), S (srm5, srm12), and G2/M (srm5). It seems likely that genes SRM5/CDC28, SRM12/HFI1/ADA1, and SRM8/NET1 are involved in the formation of a cell response to DNA damage, and in checkpoint regulation in particular.

Introduction: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have become the first-line therapy in patients with advanced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC). Antibiotics (ATB) have been reported to reduce ICI response in cancers, but this has not been evaluated in cSCC.
Aim: To evaluate ATB exposure at the onset of ICI in cSCC patients and to analyze its impact on outcome.

Interferon alpha (IFNa) is approved for the therapy of patients (pts) with polycythemia vera (PV), a subtype of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN). Some pts achieve molecular responses (MR), but clonal factors sensitizing for MR remain elusive. We integrated colony formation and differentiation assays with single-cell RNA seq and genotyping in PV-derived cells vs.

Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are currently the primary approach for managing NSCLC. However, numerous combination therapies are currently under investigation. Our goal is to investigate the overall efficacy and safety of ICIs and taxane-based chemotherapy.

Bacterial flagella are complex molecular motors that are essential for locomotion and host colonization. They consist of 30 different proteins expressed in varying stoichiometries. Their assembly and function are governed by a hierarchical transcriptional regulatory network with multiple checkpoints primarily regulated by sigma factors.

Consolidation with PD-1/PD-L1-based immune checkpoint blockade after concurrent platinum-based chemo-radiotherapy has become the new standard of care for advanced stage III unresectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. In order to further improve therapy outcomes, innovative combinatorial treatment strategies aim to target additional immunosuppressive barriers in the tumor microenvironment such as the CD73/adenosine pathway. CD73 and adenosine are known as crucial endogenous regulators of lung homeostasis and inflammation, but also contribute to an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment.
