The Role of Interferons in Melanoma Resistance to Immune Checkpoint Blockade: Mechanisms of Escape and Therapeutic Implications

TL;DR: In this article, a review highlights the current understanding of the mechanisms by which tumors disrupt interferon function in the context of immune checkpoint blockade, and discusses therapeutic strategies to overcome these mechanisms of resistance and improve the clinical reach of checkpoint blockade therapy in melanoma patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prospective approaches to enhancing CAR T cell therapy for glioblastoma

TL;DR: Effectively improved CAR T cells may offer patients with GBM new treatment opportunities, and this review is intended to provide a comprehensive overview for researchers to develop potentCAR T cells using genetic engineering or combinatorial preparations.
Posted ContentDOI

A novel Bayesian factor analysis method improves detection of genes and biological processes affected by perturbations in single-cell CRISPR screening

TL;DR: Guided Sparse Factor Analysis (GSFA) as discussed by the authors infers latent factors that represent co-regulated genes or gene modules, and by borrowing information from these factors, infers the effects of genetic perturbations on individual genes.
Journal ArticleDOI

High-content CRISPR screening in tumor immunology

TL;DR: High-content CRISPR screening is a powerful tool that links specific genetic alterations to corresponding phenotypes, thus allowing for high-throughput identification of novel gene functions as mentioned in this paper .
