Tumor cell-adipocyte gap junctions activate lipolysis and contribute to breast tumorigenesis

Jeremy Williams, Roman Camarda, Serghei Malkov…·Andrei Goga

The paper shows that gap junctions between breast cancer cells and adipocytes transfer cAMP, activating lipolysis in the tumor microenvironment to support tumor growth.

Molecular and pharmacological modulators of the tumor immune contexture revealed by deconvolution of RNA-seq data

Francesca Finotello, Clemens Mayer, Christina Plattner…·Zlatko Trajanoski

quanTIseq estimates absolute fractions of ten immune cell types from bulk RNA-seq; across TCGA, CXCL9/CXCR3 expression, not mutational load, tracks CD8+ T cell infiltration.
