Colorectal cancers with distinct metastatic potential trigger divergent early T cell responses

Marwa Saad, Alexandra Thoms, Yue S. Yin, Izabela Mamede, Afsana Rahman, Ruonan Chen, Sebastian E. Carrasco, Patrick W. Darcy, Norihiro Goto, Sohail F. Tavazoie, Angelina Morand Bianchi Bilate, Daniel Mucida

This study shows that colorectal cancers with different metastatic potential trigger distinct early T cell responses, with non-metastatic tumors inducing cytotoxic T cells and pro-metastatic tumors causing hypoactivated T cells.

Single-cell multiome regression models identify functional and disease-associated enhancers and enable chromatin potential analysis

Sneha Mitra, Rohan Malik, Wilfred Wong, Afsana Rahman, Alexander J. Hartemink, Yuri Pritykin, Kushal K. Dey, Christina S. Leslie

SCARlink predicts gene expression from chromatin accessibility in single-cell multiome data, identifies enhancers, and enables chromatin potential analysis for developmental trajectories.
