Clonal replacement of tumor-specific T cells following PD-1 blockade
Immunotherapies that block inhibitory checkpoint receptors on T cells have transformed the
clinical care of patients with cancer. However, whether the T cell response to checkpoint …

Glioma progression is shaped by genetic evolution and microenvironment interactions
The factors driving therapy resistance in diffuse glioma remain poorly understood. To identify
treatment-associated cellular and genetic changes, we analyzed RNA and/or DNA …

[HTML][HTML] Allele-specific HLA loss and immune escape in lung cancer evolution
Immune evasion is a hallmark of cancer. Losing the ability to present neoantigens through
human leukocyte antigen (HLA) loss may facilitate immune evasion. However, the …

Whole-genome landscapes of major melanoma subtypes
Melanoma of the skin is a common cancer only in Europeans, whereas it arises in internal
body surfaces (mucosal sites) and on the hands and feet (acral sites) in people throughout …

Organoid profiling identifies common responders to chemotherapy in pancreatic cancer
Pancreatic cancer is the most lethal common solid malignancy. Systemic therapies are often
ineffective, and predictive biomarkers to guide treatment are urgently needed. We generated …

Molecular landmarks of tumor hypoxia across cancer types
Many primary-tumor subregions have low levels of molecular oxygen, termed hypoxia.
Hypoxic tumors are at elevated risk for local failure and distant metastasis, but the molecular …
