Isoflavones impair response to anti-PD1 therapy in murine breast cancer models, irrespective of dietary fiber and fecal short chain fatty acid levels

Fábia de Oliveira Andrade, Kerrie B. Bouker, Melike Özgül Önal, Lu Jin, Idalia Cruz, William Helferich, Audrey Gao, Karla Andrade, Vivek Verma, Christopher Staley, Patricia L Foley, Leena Hilakivi-Clarke

This study shows that isoflavones in the diet impair anti-PD1 therapy response in breast cancer models, regardless of dietary fiber or SCFA levels, and that ER blockade can restore responsiveness.

Multiple distinct metastatic cell states are induced by epithelial-mesenchymal plasticity

Fahda Alsharief, Robert K. Suter, Apsra Nasir, Idalia Cruz, Gray W. Pearson

This study identifies multiple metastatic cell states in TNBC through EMT plasticity, showing that metastatic competence arises from diverse EMT programs rather than a single phenotype.
