Journal ArticleDOI
Immunotherapy in colorectal cancer: rationale, challenges and potential.
Karuna Ganesh,Zsofia K. Stadler,Andrea Cercek,Robin B. Mendelsohn,Jinru Shia,Neil H. Segal,Luis A. Diaz +6 more
TL;DR: Clinical development of immune checkpoint inhibition in CRC leading to regulatory approvals for the treatment of dMMR–MSI-H CRC is reviewed and new advances in expanding the efficacy of immunotherapy to early-stage CRC and CRC that is mismatch-repair-proficient and has low microsatellite instability (pMMR- MSI-L) are focused on.
Journal ArticleDOI

Crane,Marc J. Gollub,Mithat Gonen,Leonard B. Saltz,Julio Garcia-Aguilar,Philip B. Paty +29 more
TL;DR: A WW strategy for select rectal cancer patients who had a clinical complete response after neoadjuvant therapy resulted in excellent rectal preservation and pelvic tumor control; however, in the WW group, worse survival was noted along with a higher incidence of distant progression in patients with local reg growth vs those without local regrowth.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The biology and drug sensitivity of RC clinical isolates can be efficiently interrogated using an organoid-based, ex vivo platform coupled with in vivo endoluminal propagation in animals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pericyte-like spreading by disseminated cancer cells activates YAP and MRTF for metastatic colonization
Ekrem Emrah Er,Manuel Valiente,Manuel Valiente,Karuna Ganesh,Yilong Zou,Saloni Agrawal,Jing Hu,Bailey Griscom,Marc K. Rosenblum,Adrienne Boire,Edi Brogi,Filippo G. Giancotti,Filippo G. Giancotti,Melitta Schachner,Srinivas Malladi,Srinivas Malladi,Joan Massagué +16 more
TL;DR: The results identify an important step in the initiation of metastatic colonization, define its molecular constituents and provide an explanation for the widespread association of L1CAM with metastatic relapse in the clinic.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interaction between Antibody-Diversification Enzyme AID and Spliceosome-Associated Factor CTNNBL1
Silvestro G. Conticello,Karuna Ganesh,Kanmin Xue,Mason Lu,Cristina Rada,Michael S. Neuberger +5 more
TL;DR: The results identify residues in AID involved in its in vivo targeting and suggest they might act through interaction with CTNNBL1, giving possible insight into the linkage between AID recruitment and target-gene transcription.
