A modular generalist-specialist AI framework for ROI selection across spatial profiling workflow

Simón P. Castillo, Tanishq Gautam, K. Gonzales…·Yinyin Yuan

The paper introduces a modular AI framework for ROI selection in spatial profiling, showing hybrid generalist-specialist strategies balance signal preservation, concordance, consistency, and efficiency.

Coordinated translational control of multiple immune checkpoints by the integrated stress response pathway in lung cancer

Shayna Elizabeth Thomas-Jardin, Shruthy Suresh, Ariana Arce…·Kathryn A. O’Donnell

The paper shows that the integrated stress response (ISR) coordinates the translation of PD-L1 and CD155, two immune checkpoint proteins, in lung cancer, and suggests combining ISR inhibition with PD-1 blockade as a therapeutic strategy.
