Activated Pancreatic Stellate Cells Sequester CD8+ T Cells to Reduce Their Infiltration of the Juxtatumoral Compartment of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

TLDR
Based on studies of human PDAC samples and KPC mice, activated PSCs appear to reduce migration of CD8(+) T cells to juxtatumoral stromal compartments, preventing their access to cancer cells.

Mechanisms of T-Cell Exhaustion in Pancreatic Cancer

TL;DR: Recent studies utilizing transcriptomics, mass cytometry, and epigenomics revealed a critical role of Thymocyte selection-associated high mobility group box protein (TOX) genes and TOX-associated pathways, driving T-cell exhaustion in chronic infection and cancer.

Hypoxia induces core-to-edge transition of progressive tumoral cells: A critical review on differential yet corroborative roles for HIF-1α and HIF-2α.

TL;DR: It would be fair to announce that combine targeting for both hypoxia inducible factor (HIF)-1α and HIF-2α may hold a therapeutic promise for high-stage tumors, but an ongoing research is required to direct this hypothesis toward certainty.

Intratumoral T cells, recurrence, and survival in epithelial ovarian cancer.

TL;DR: The presence of intratumoral T cells correlates with improved clinical outcome in advanced ovarian carcinoma and was associated with increased expression of interferon-gamma, interleukin-2, and lymphocyte-attracting chemokines within the tumor.
