TL;DR: The study of immune cell transcriptomes from tumors demonstrates a strategy for identifying predictors, mechanisms, and targets for enhancing checkpoint immunotherapy by targeting novel combinations of factors in exhausted cells.

TL;DR: This review highlights the recent advances of smart MNPs categorized according to their activation stimulus (physical, chemical, or biological) and looks forward to future pharmaceutical applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exosomes: composition, biogenesis, and mechanisms in cancer metastasis and drug resistance
Ladan Mashouri,Hassan Yousefi,Amir Reza Aref,Ali Mohammad Ahadi,Fatemeh Molaei,Suresh K. Alahari +5 more
TL;DR: Understanding exosome biogenesis, their contents and the molecular mechanisms and signaling pathways that are responsible for metastasis and drug-resistance mediated by TDEs may help to devise novel therapeutic approaches for cancer progression particularly to overcome therapy-res resistance and preventing metastasis as major factors of cancer mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is shown that short-term exposure to small-molecule inhibitors of cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6 significantly enhances T- cell activation, contributing to antitumor effects in vivo, due in part to the derepression of NFAT family proteins and their target genes, critical regulators of T-cell function.
Journal ArticleDOI
