The paper identifies tumor-associated surface markers on circulating extracellular vesicles as complementary biomarkers to circulating tumor DNA in high-risk neuroblastoma.

This paper develops CancerPAM, a bioinformatics pipeline for identifying CRISPR knock-in sites to remodel the tumor microenvironment, enhancing CAR T cell therapy in solid tumors.

This paper shows that high MYCN levels in neuroblastoma reduce L1CAM expression, limiting CAR T cell efficacy, and that inhibiting MYCN with MLN8237 restores L1CAM and enhances CAR T cell activity.

This paper develops a method to integrate ζ-deficient CARs into the CD3ζ gene to create functional CAR-T and CAR-NK cells with improved safety and efficacy for off-the-shelf therapies.
