TIM3+ Tumor Associated M2 Macrophages Impair Antitumor T Cell Immunity and Promote Gastric Cancer Progression and Peritoneal Metastasis

Xiaodan Yao, Yibo Fan, Junsong Zhao…·Shumei Song

This study shows TIM3 on M2 macrophages promotes gastric cancer progression and metastasis by suppressing T cell immunity, and TIM3 blockade combined with immunotherapy and chemotherapy improves outcomes.

YAP1 Depletion Enhances TAZ and its Complexation with TEAD4 and AP-1 Heterodimer C-JUN/FOSB to Promote Gastric Cancer Progression and Metastases

Jingjing Wu, Dipti Athavale, Curt Balch…·Shumei Song

This study shows that inhibiting both YAP1 and TAZ in gastric cancer peritoneal metastases reduces tumor growth and progression by blocking their interactions with TEAD4 and AP-1 complexes.
