Journal ArticleDOI

Myeloid-derived suppressor cells coming of age.

TL;DR: The origin and nature of myeloid-derived suppressor cells, as well as their distinctive features and biological roles in cancer, infectious diseases, autoimmunity, obesity and pregnancy are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

LAG-3 expression defines a subset of CD4(+)CD25(high)Foxp3(+) regulatory T cells that are expanded at tumor sites.

TL;DR: Ex vivo analysis showed that CD4+CD25highFoxp3+LAG-3+ T cells are functionally active cells that release the immunosuppressive cytokines IL-10 and TGF-β1, but not IL-2.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tumor-associated B-cells induce tumor heterogeneity and therapy resistance

TL;DR: A mechanism of acquired drug resistance through the tumor microenvironment, which is mediated by human tumor-associated B cells-derived IGF-1 is described, with important clinical implications in melanoma patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Comprehensive Patient-Derived Xenograft Collection Representing the Heterogeneity of Melanoma

TL;DR: This exhaustive live tissue resource includes PDX from 57 samples resistant to targeted therapy, 61 samples from responders and non-responders to immune checkpoint blockade, and 31 samples from brain metastasis, and shows examples of pre-clinical trials that highlight how the PDX collection can be used to develop and optimize precision therapies, biomarkers of response, and the targeting of rare genetic subgroups.
