Background: Originally identified for its involvement in bone remodeling, accumulating data emerged in the past years indicating that receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL) actually acts as a multifunctional soluble molecule that influences various physiological and pathological processes. Regarding its role in carcinogenesis, while direct effects on tumor cell behavior have been precisely characterized, the impact of the RANKL/RANK system (and its inhibition) on the intratumoral immune landscape remains unclear.
Methods: After various in silico/in situ/in vitro analyses, the immunotherapeutic efficacy of RANKL blockade (alone and in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors (anti-programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1)) or doxorubicin/paclitaxel-based chemotherapy) was investigated using different syngeneic mouse models of triple-negative breast cancer (4T1, 67NR and E0771).

The 2022 Mpox virus (MPXV) outbreak revitalized questions about immunity against MPXV and vaccinia-based vaccines (VAC-V), but studies are limited. We analyzed immunity against MPXV in individuals infected with MPXV or vaccinated with the licensed modified vaccinia Ankara (MVA) Bavarian Nordic or an experimental MVA-HIVB vaccine. The frequency of neutralizing antibody responders was higher among MPXV-infected individuals than MVA vaccinees.

Peritoneal carcinomatosis in ovarian cancer is often associated with ascites where cancer cells grow as aggregates. Given the emerging evidence that multicellular growth enhances resistance to conventional therapies, and that patients frequently develop resistance to platinum salts, we investigated the efficiency of PI3K/Akt signalling pathway targeting in multicellular growth and its importance as a potential therapeutic target in cells resistant to platinum salts. Due to its importance in many cancers and to the frequent mutations of its encoding gene PIK3CA, we focused on targeting PI3Kα using BYL-719 (Alpelisib), an isoform-specific inhibitor already used in clinics.

Copepods may contribute to harmful algal bloom formation by selectively rejecting harmful cells. Additionally, copepods and the chemical cues they exude, copepodamides, have been shown to induce increased toxin production in paralytic and amnesic toxin producing microalgae. However, it is unknown if diarrhetic shellfish toxin (DST) producers such as Dinophysis respond to copepods or copepodamides in a similar fashion.
