This study shows that postoperative stress impairs reverse cholesterol transport and accelerates atherosclerosis through inflammatory remodeling of HDL and foam cell apoptosis.

The paper identifies PI3K-gamma signaling as a key pathway in surgery-induced MDSCs that suppresses NK cells and promotes metastases, showing that targeting this pathway can reduce postoperative metastases.

This study shows that Sox10 deletion in luminal cells of HER2+ mice prevents tumor initiation and reprograms tumor cells to a basal phenotype.

This study examines how cancer surgery affects T and B cell responses to a model antigen, showing reduced cytokine-producing CD8+ T cells and antibody-secreting B cells post-surgery.
