Targeting mTORC2 in lung squamous cell carcinoma improves anti-tumor immunity through the PSGL-1-VISTA axis

Verra M. Ngwa, Yoonha Hwang, Wenqiang Song…·Jin Chen

This study shows targeting mTORC2 in lung squamous cell carcinoma enhances anti-tumor immunity via the PSGL-1-VISTA axis by altering the tumor microenvironment and immune cell activation.

Regulation of fatty acid delivery to metastases by tumor endothelium

Deanna N. Edwards, Shan Wang, Kelby M. Kane…·Jin Chen

This study identifies a mechanism by which tumor endothelium regulates fatty acid delivery to metastases, showing that mTORC1 inhibition in endothelial cells reduces metastatic disease by impairing T cell fatty acid uptake.
