MYO1G removes GSDME pores through CAV1-mediated endocytosis, revealing a druggable brake on #pyroptosis that may boost chemotherapy and antitumour immunity. Pyroptosis-induced loss of intracellular α-KG stabilizes HIF1α and upregulates MYO1G, establishing a negative-feedback mechanism that enables cancer cells to restrain excessive pyroptosis.

The durability of #CAR-T efficacy might be shaped by the first cell division. CD28 costimulation drives a strong and rapid response, whereas 4-1BB promotes the generation of memory-like daughter cell via asymmetric division. In CAR-T design, the “quality” of signaling may matter more than its “strength.“

Journal Club-133 @Nature#KRAS mutant epithelial cells reprogram #fibroblasts into a fibrotic state through amphiregulin (AREG)–EGFR signalling. These fibroblasts subsequently drive alveolar macrophages toward a tumour-supportive state, establishing a self-reinforcing early #TME. This study demonstrates that niche formation during the earliest stages of tumorigenesis is driven not by tumour cells alone, but by their interactions with stromal cells.

Our study has been published in Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy @sigtrans_sttt!
Congratulations to Takuya Tsujino, who led this study 🎉
By analyzing pretreatment tumor samples from 179 patients with muscle-invasive #BladderCancer, we identified a ferroptosis-suppressive state associated with resistance to bladder-preserving chemoradiotherapy and poor survival.
Importantly, inducing #Ferroptosis restored radiosensitivity in resistant bladder cancer cells, suggesting a potential therapeutic strategy to overcome treatment resistance.

The "SPLASH" finds unknown genes in the absence of a reference genome from raw data statistics alone. sc-SPLASH extends it to single-cell & spatial data, ~x50 faster preprocessing. It has found new genes in sponges and tunicates, absent from all databases, and active in immune cells.

CRISPR-Cas12a2 exhibits trans-cleavage activity, in which recognition of a target RNA triggers cleavage of surrounding DNA and RNA. The authors demonstrated that Cas12a2 targeting hotspot mutations in cancer induces mutation-dependent cell death through chromatin destruction. Moreover, the administration via LNP showed therapeutic efficacy in HCC and NSCLC mouse models. These findings highlight a new therapeutic strategy, targeting previously undruggable hotspot mutations.
