Article Synopsis
  • BTLA is an inhibitory immune checkpoint that interacts with HVEM to regulate immune balance and maintain immune tolerance on the same cell, while also affecting different immune cells to suppress immune responses.
  • Dysregulation of the BTLA/HVEM interaction can lead to impaired immune cell function, allowing tumor cells to evade immune detection and progress.
  • Research indicates that BTLA and HVEM are often abnormally expressed in various tumors, making them potential targets for future immunotherapy approaches in treating hematologic malignancies.

Article Synopsis
  • Immune checkpoint therapies have revolutionized cancer treatment but face challenges like low response rates and drug resistance, highlighting the need for a better understanding of the tumor microenvironment (TME).
  • Recent studies show that biomechanical forces within the TME significantly impact immune responses and tumor progression, indicating that manipulating these forces could enhance immune activation against tumors.
  • The review discusses key biomechanical mechanisms, the role of the extracellular matrix, and potential clinical applications, aiming to provide insights for discovering new therapeutic targets.

The connection between metabolic reprogramming and tumor progression has been demonstrated in an increasing number of researches. However, further research is required to identify how metabolic reprogramming affects interpatient heterogeneity and prognosis in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). In this work, single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) based deconvolution was utilized to create a malignant cell hierarchy with metabolic differences and to investigate the relationship between metabolic biomarkers and prognosis.

Urachal cancer, a rare malignancy, generally presents in the clinical setting with advanced stages of disease. Systemic treatment with chemotherapy is generally utilized in this setting. However, there remains a paucity of data on the effectiveness of immune checkpoint inhibitors or targeted therapies for urachal cancer.
