The PD-1/PD-L1 axis represents a cornerstone of cancer immunotherapy, yet the dynamic shuttling of PD-L1 between endosomal recycling and lysosomal degradation routes limits durable responses. Using a CRISPR screen targeting glycosphingolipid metabolism, we identify TM9SF2 as a key regulator of PD...
In cancer, metabolic changes and uncontrolled tumor growth alter nutrient availability, impacting antitumor immune responses. Regulatory T (Treg) cells are a subset of T cells with immunosuppressive properties that has been found to additionally possess the ability to control tissue homeostasis a...
Dendritic cells (DCs) are central regulators of antitumor T cell immunity and are highly sensitive to metabolic cues. However, the therapeutic potential of targeting DC metabolism remains underexplored. Here, we report upregulation of the creatine transporter (CrT; Slc6a8) in intratumora...
B7H3 (CD276), a key immune checkpoint molecule that is overexpressed in tumors, plays a central role in cancer progression, making it a highly promising and specific therapeutic target. Here, we discovered that the cellular metabolite palmitic acid contributes to the development of an immunosuppr...
Transarterial embolization (TAE) efficacy in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is limited by post-embolization hypoxia-driven angiogenesis and metabolic reprogramming. To address these challenges, pH-responsive gelatin microspheres encapsulating zinc sulfide (ZnS) nanoparticles (ZnS@GMs) were develo...
