In the current issue of Molecular Cell, Liu et al. (2020) show that the secretion of cancer-linked forms of mutant calreticulin allow cancer cells to escape protective immune responses induced by chemotherapeutic and immunotherapeutic drugs, thereby promoting tumor growth.

Background: Root hairs are single-celled projections on root surfaces, critical for water and nutrient uptake. Here, we describe the first short root hair mutant in wheat ( L.), identified in a mutagenized population and termed here short root hair 1 ().

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is triggered upon the interference with oxidative protein folding that aims to produce fully folded, disulfide-bonded and glycosylated proteins, which are then competent to exit the ER. Many of the enzymes catalyzing this process require the binding of Ca ions, including the chaperones BiP/GRP78, calnexin and calreticulin. The induction of ER stress with a variety of drugs interferes with chaperone Ca binding, increases cytosolic Cathrough the opening of ER Ca channels, and activates store-operated Ca entry (SOCE).

Article Synopsis
- Photothermal therapy (PTT) can effectively target tumors and induce immunogenic cell death, but it faces challenges with solid tumors like neuroblastoma due to obstructive fibroblast presence.
- This study explores the synergistic effect of combining mesoporous platinum nanoparticles (MPNs) with the FDA-approved antihypertensive drug losartan, which helps break down the extracellular matrix (ECM) to enhance drug delivery.
- Results showed that the combination led to lower tumor cell survival, higher immune cell activation, and significant tumor suppression (around 80%), suggesting this strategy is promising for improving treatment outcomes for neuroblastoma.

Introduction: Human respiratory syncytial virus (hRSV) is a main cause of bronchiolitis in infants and its persistence has been described in immunocompromised subjects. However, limited evidence has been reported on the gene expression triggered by the hRSV and the effect of recombinant -derived calreticulin (rTsCRT).
Methods: Using a comprehensive microarray approach, we analyzed the transcriptome profile of a macrophage cell line that has supported hRSV persistence for over 150 passages.
