Single-cell transcriptomics reveals the role of Macrophage-Naïve CD4 + T cell interaction in the immunosuppressive microenvironment of primary liver carcinoma

171 views | Feb 20 2023

The study investigates the important interactions between immune cells and their targeting drugs in liver carcinoma using single-cell and bulk transcriptomic data, revealing the crucial role of macrophage-naive CD4 + T cell interaction in the immunosuppressive microenvironment of liver carcinoma and identifying five predictive drugs that may help improve the immunosuppressive microenvironment and prevent immune evasion.

Drug resistance dependent on allostery: A P-loop rigor Eg5 mutant exhibits resistance to allosteric inhibition by STLC

188 views | Feb 20 2023

Resistance to Eg5 inhibitors, a potential target for cancer chemotherapy, was explored using the HCT116 cell line and found to arise from a dominant point mutation in the P-loop of the ATP binding domain of Eg5, Eg5(T107N), causing strong non-exchangeable binding to microtubules and resistance to loop-L5 binding inhibitors, but potentially overcome by inhibitors that bind to sites other than the loop-L5 binding site.
