Cell size and the cell cycle are intrinsically coupled and abnormal increases in cell size are associated with senescence and permanent cell cycle arrest. The mechanism by which overgrowth primes cells to withdraw from the cell cycle remains unknown. We investigate this here using CDK4/6 inhibito...
Anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy for relapsed or refractory (r/r) large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) results in durable response in only a subset of patients. MYC overexpression in LBCL tumors is associated with poor response to treatment. We tested whether a MYC-driven polyamin...
The effectiveness of immunotherapy varies among patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Here we investigated the baseline immune status in stage IV NSCLC patients treated with anti-PD-1 plus chemotherapy to understand the immune mechanisms and unveil systemic markers associated...
Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of nonapoptotic cell death mediated by lipid peroxidation, has been implicated in the pathogenesis of multiple diseases. Subcellular organelles play pivotal roles in the regulation of ferroptosis, but the mechanisms underlying the contributions of the mitochond...
Macrophage-derived foam cell plays a pivotal role in the plaque formation and rupture during the progression of atherosclerosis. Foam cells are destined to divergent cell fate and functions in response to external stimuli based on their internal states, which however is hidden in the traditional ...
Microglia, the brain’s primary resident immune cells, can assume various phenotypes with diverse functional outcomes on brain homeostasis. In Alzheimer’s disease (AD), where microglia are a leading causal cell type, the identity of microglia subsets that drive neurodegeneration remains unresolved...
Sample collection can significantly affect measurements of relative lipid concentrations in cell line panels, hiding intrinsic biological properties of interest between cell lines. Most quality control steps in lipidomic data analysis focus on controlling technical variation. Correcting for the t...
