An immunomechanical checkpoint PYK2 governs monocyte-to-macrophage differentiation in pancreatic cancer

This study identifies PYK2 as an immunomechanical checkpoint governing monocyte-to-macrohage differentiation in PDAC, showing its role in mechanotransduction and improved immunotherapy response.

Multi-modal profiling identifies CD4+CXCR5+PD-1- Tfh cells as prognostic and predictive biomarkers for response to R-CHOP therapy in human DLBCL

The paper identifies CD4+CXCR5+PD-1- Tfh cells as prognostic and predictive biomarkers for R-CHOP therapy response in DLBCL using single-cell RNA sequencing and multiplex IHC.

Nuclear stiffening in neoplastic cells aggregates T cell exhaustion via pFAK/SP1/IL-6 axis in colorectal cancer

The paper shows that nuclear stiffening in colorectal cancer cells promotes T cell exhaustion through the pFAK/SP1/IL-6 axis, and inhibiting pFAK improves antitumor immunity.
