Potassium Ion Channels in Malignant Central Nervous System CancersMalignant central nervous system (CNS) cancers are among the most difficult to treat, with low rates of survival and a high likelihood of recurrence. This is primarily due to their location within the CNS, hindering adequate drug delivery and tumour access via surgery. Furthermore, CNS cancer cells are highly plastic, an adaptive property that enables them to bypass targeted treatment strategies and develop drug resistance.

Time-course RNAseq data of murine AB1 mesothelioma and Renca renal cancer following immune checkpoint therapyTime-critical transcriptional events in the immune microenvironment are important for response to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB), yet these events are difficult to characterise and remain incompletely understood. Here, we present whole tumor RNA sequencing data in the context of treatment with ICB in murine models of AB1 mesothelioma and Renca renal cell cancer.

Supportive care needs and associated factors among caregivers of patients with colorectal cancer: a cross-sectional studyTo assess the level of supportive care needs of caregivers of colorectal cancer patients and explore the related key influencing factors. Totaling 283 caregivers of patients with colorectal cancer were investigated in this study.

Caregiver burden, mutuality, and family resilience in colorectal cancer caring: A mediating model analysisThis study investigates the interaction between caregiver burden, mutuality, and family resilience in colorectal cancer management, and determines whether mutuality affects the effect of caregiver burden on family resilience.

Accumulation of CD103+ CD8+ T cells in a cutaneous melanoma micrometastasisResults support the emerging concept that CD103+ CD8+ tissue‐resident memory T cells are key mediators of cancer surveillance

PI3K activation in neural stem cells drives tumorigenesis which can be ameliorated by targeting the cAMP response element binding proteinOur findings present a novel mouse model for glioma demonstrating that the PI3K pathway is important for initiation of tumorigenesis
Research
Tissue-resident memory T cells orchestrate tumour-immune equilibriumOur findings provide insight into the immune cell populations important for maintaining long-term tumour dormancy in peripheral tissues

PPARalpha and PPARgamma activation is associated with pleural mesothelioma invasion but therapeutic inhibition is ineffectiveMesothelioma is a cancer that typically originates in the pleura of the lungs. It rapidly invades the surrounding tissues, causing pain and shortness of breath. We compared cell lines injected either subcutaneously or intrapleurally and found that only the latter resulted in invasive and rapid growth.

The dystroglycan receptor maintains glioma stem cells in the vascular nicheThese findings reveal a central role of the DG receptor, not only as a structural element, but also as a critical factor promoting mesenchymal-like GBM

IFNβ Is a Potent Adjuvant for Cancer Vaccination StrategiesCancer vaccination drives the generation of anti-tumor T cell immunity and can be enhanced by the inclusion of effective immune adjuvants such as type I interferons (IFNs). Whilst type I IFNs have been shown to promote cross-priming of T cells, the role of individual subtypes remains unclear. Here we systematically compared the capacity of distinct type I IFN subtypes to enhance T cell responses to a whole-cell vaccination strategy in a pre-clinical murine model.
