A matrikine organizes the dendritic cell- T cell triads that build tertiary lymphoid structures

Daniel J. Lagal, Duncan Hong, Athanasios Papadas…·Fotis A. Asimakopoulos

This study identifies versikine, a matrikine derived from VCAN proteolysis, as essential for organizing dendritic cell-T cell triads in tertiary lymphoid structures and enhancing antitumor immunity.

Targeting Neutrophil Extracellular Traps to inhibit Colon Cancer Tumor Necrosis and Metastasis

Emma Gazzara, José M. Adrover, A. Lui…·Sepideh Gholami

This study shows that neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) drive tumor necrosis and metastasis in colorectal cancer, and inhibiting NET formation reduces necrosis and improves chemotherapy outcomes.
