MAPK/ERK signaling in gliomas modulates interferon responses, T cell recruitment, enhances tumor-microglia crosstalk, and drives immune checkpoint blockade efficacy.

Kwang‐Soo Kim, Junyi Zhang, Victor Andrés Arrieta, Crismita Dmello, Elena Grabis, Y Yabo, Si Wang, Karl John Habashy, Joseph Duffy, Junfei Zhao, Andrew Gould, Rishi Jain, Li Chen, JIAN LI HU, Irina V. Balyasnikova, , Adam M. Sonabend

This study identifies the MAPK/ERK pathway as a key regulator of glioma susceptibility to immune checkpoint blockade, showing it modulates interferon responses, T cell recruitment, and tumor-microglia interactions.

Neuronal precursor cell persistence in Ganglioglioma is associated with ECM remodeling and immune cell infiltration

Jan Kueckelhaus, Lucas Hoffmann, Joelle Aline Menstell, David Niklas Zimmer, Jasim Kada Benotmane, Junyi Zhang, Juergen Beck, Oliver Schnell, Roman Sankowski, Philipp Sievers, Felix Sahm, Daniel Delev, Dieter Henrik Heiland

This study uses spatial transcriptomics to identify transcriptional programs in gangliogliomas that link ECM remodeling, immune infiltration, and persistent neuronal precursor-like states to tumor biology.
