How lipid metabolism modulates tumor-associated macrophages to establish an immunosuppressive...
New research into membrane dynamics reveals how lipids derived from cancer cells can skew macrophages towards an immunosuppressive phenotype, via a manipulation of the lipid composition within the ER membrane.

Combined targeting of key pathways leads to optimal anti-cancer effects in breast-to-brain...
CSF1R inhibition is initially effective in treating preclinical models of breast-to-brain metastasis, but adaptive resistance can emerge via CSF2-STAT5 signalling. A new strategy, combining blockade of CSF1R and CSF2/STAT5 signaling offers a solution.
